Emeritus Prof Christopher MayHow can <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SteveBarclay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SteveBarclay</a> accuse the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/RCN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RCN</a> of being 'disrespectful' to other <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHS</a> unions by continuing their strike action.... he, from a Govt. that has shown the NHS a distinct lack of respect for years - the gall of it!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/supportourNHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#supportourNHS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GTTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GTTO</a>

Jackie ❤️☮️🇵🇸🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧The latest pay offer from the government is pathetic and was rejected by the Royal College of Nursing. I and my colleagues are at our lowest ebb, we're exhausted, and we have no energy left. There are record levels of sickness. So many of us are looking for a way out. This country is haemorrhaging "shop floor" nurses, there is zero incentive. <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/RCN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RCN</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/RCNStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RCNStrike</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nurses</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Nursing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nursing</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/NursesStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NursesStrike</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/NursesInCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NursesInCrisis</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHS</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/NHSStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHSStrike</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/NursesStrikeAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NursesStrikeAction</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayYesterday afternoon <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/RishiSunakPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RishiSunakPM</a> said that as part of the 'additional funding' for the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHS</a> pay settlement there will be some 'reprioritisation, as there always is'; so that' not fully funded then - at least some of the cash will be redirected from the current budget.... so the row back didn't take long did it now (hours rather than days)h/t <a href="https://toot.wales/@fkamiah17" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fkamiah17</a> for the heads up on that!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayI've said it before but I'm going to say it again...Unless <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/JeremyHunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JeremyHunt</a> is going to fund the proposed pay rise for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nurses</a> & other <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHS</a> staff negotiated by the unions & Steve Barclay, it is going to have to be funded out of already stretched budgets.... which actually means a continuance of the defunding of the NHS with its hard working staff being manoeuvred into the position where further cuts will be blamed on their 'greed' in going on strike for a living wage; just watch!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySo <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/RishiSunakPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RishiSunakPM</a>, with <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/juniordoctors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#juniordoctors</a> now voting to join the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHSstrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHSstrikes</a>, how that game of hardball going for you?So <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a> however inconvenient it is for you<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a>, because clapping (in the end) was a distraction...The NHS is not safe in <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Tory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tory</a> hands... and this is what the strikes are really about!

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayIt seems <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/RishiSunakPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RishiSunakPM</a> finally may(!!) be considering back-dated pay rises for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/strikers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strikers</a> in the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/publicsector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publicsector</a>... but as before this is so much hogwash if <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/JeremyHunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JeremyHunt</a> continues to hold the line that all pyrites must come from within existing/settled budgets... if so, this is just another run at defunding public services (most crucially the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHS</a>) & will merely shift the problem from one aspect of the (various) public services' organisation to another...<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayPat Cullen of the RCN on the 43,000 <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nurses</a> who have quit their careers in the last 5yrs (incidentally there are currently 47,000 <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/nursing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nursing</a> vacancies):“That nurses aren’t just choosing to retire early but are quitting & not just the NHS but the profession entirely, when they’re only a few years into their career, is deeply worrying. It speaks volumes about the dire state that ministers have allowed nursing to fall into through years of underfunding and neglect”.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SaveOurNHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveOurNHS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayOver the weekend the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nurses</a> leader(s) and the Govt. traded blows over whether (in light of tis weeks <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NHSstrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NHSstrikes</a>) the Govt. was currently 'at the table' discussing the underlying pay issues... The Nurses said there were no talks going on, the Govt. claimed there were.... making this an issue of who do you trust to be telling the truth, which to be frank in light of the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Tories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tories</a> frequent mendacity makes it an easy choice this morning!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SaveOurNHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveOurNHS</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayIt will be no surprise to you that <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inflation</a> has hit the value of (real terms) incomes, in both the private & public sectors... Certainly private sector <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/employees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#employees</a> are suffering, but this is outstripped by the fall in <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/publicsector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publicsector</a> wages (in real terms)... this alongside greater remaining unionisation gives us the context for the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strike</a> action(s), even if the reasons are wider than just pay<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportourTeachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportourTeachers</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayWhile I'm sure no-one here thinks the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/strikers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strikers</a> are rabble-rousing anti-social lefties seeking to disrupt our wonderful system, it nevertheless is worth reading these first-hand accounts of the desperate circumstances that have driven people onto the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/picketlines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#picketlines</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportTheStrikes</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportOurNurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportOurNurses</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportourTeachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupportourTeachers</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/21/why-we-strike-workers-reasons-joining-picket-line-britains-new-winter-discontent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/21/why-we-strike-workers-reasons-joining-picket-line-britains-new-winter-discontent</a>
