This crisis has inadvertently shone a light on the rock-bottom pay and miserly terms and conditions of the people we now expect to risk their health to protect us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52110652
This is a scandal. Hospital staff speaking out publicly shouldn't face being sacked by ruthless NHS bosses who do not want failings in their leadership to be exposed. GMB will continue to defend all of our NHS members and their voices will be heard. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/gagging-nhs-workers-scandalous-and-could-cost-lives
Our members are extremely frightened. GMB demands M&S steps in to ensure safe social distancing is enforced, and work practices are modified to meet government guidelines to prevent virus contagion. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/mands-workers-stage-walkout
You have to see this. It's clear @ASOS are unable to keep their workers safe. Time for them to shut up shop until they can. Agree? Share this video. #ASOSDoTheRightThing
CAMPAIGN UPDATE: all staff employed by @Ameyplc will now receive full sick pay should they be required to self-isolate. This is a victory for decency and respect - and for WEEKS of consistent GMB pressure. Join a proper union ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻 http://www.gmb.org.uk/join
Statutory Sick Pay will be uprated from £94.25 a week to £95.85 a week from 6th April. An increase of just £1.60 is an unfunny joke. The Health Secretary himself said he couldn’t live off £94 a week. Why should others?
