Workers and unions They consider the 1% salary increase announced this week with the general budgets to be ridiculous in the run-up to the de-escalation that begins this Monday and warn of an exodus in the health community if they don’t feel valued.
Boris Johnson, however, insists that it is all they can afford in these hard times of pandemic. In fact, Health professionals are the only professionals in the public sector whose salary has not been frozen.
They expected recognition from the Government
The toilets, a key collective for the containment of the coronavirus pandemic, they have received numerous recognitions in the United Kingdom. Therefore, they expected that the thanks would translate into a salary increase, but they have not had it.
There will be a rise, yes, but only 1%. Spanish toilets residing in the United Kingdom still do not believe it. “With a salary of 2,000 pounds net per month, with the increase of 1% it will be around 20 pounds more a month, so I think this is more symbolic than anything else, “explains Raúl, a nurse in London.
They will not suffer a wage freeze but their raise is so derisory that the sector already announces mobilizations. The ICU nurse in London Jesús Correderas denounces that “it is a bit disappointing because the effort that has been made has been enormous”.
The increase would be equal to 4 euros more per week for an experienced nurse. “These are tough times, we have tried to offer the National Health Service as much as possible,” defended the prime minister.
