NHS workers face a "horrendous situation" over whether to accept a revised pay offer, some staff have told the ECHO.
In ballots opening next week, ambulance workers and nurses will vote on a pay offer from the government after weeks of talks earlier this month. It includes a 5% pay rise and a one-off payment of between £1,655 and £3,789 for staff on Agenda for Change contracts, which includes nurses, paramedics, 999 call handlers, midwives, security guards and cleaners.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the government and trade unions "have come to an agreement". The RCN, Unison and GMB are recommending the offer to their members, with Unison describing it as "a victory against all the odds".
