GMB recommend it as the best possible from this government, and have a breakdown for you here https://www.gmb.org.uk/nhs-pay-offer-calculator

That said, frankly you should decide if *you* think it's acceptable.

had our unison branch meeting today and basically. yeah. the NHS pay deal isn't great. but if we say no then what. we did a poo poo job of getting people to strike the first time round and there's no reason we'll be any better this time.

deadline to vote is friday next week, will probably wait until then to see if anything new comes out.

but a few members did feel kinda pissed that the messaging from unions has been VOTE FOR THIS. OR YOU'LL GET JACK poo poo (but we will be holding a vote about it)

organising in the NHS is loving hard because you're trying to lead hundreds of tired horses to water while also having a job which is also very loving stressful and made hard by the reasons you're trying to strike in the first place

it just feels like poo poo having the tories' boot on our neck for an eternity and having to be grateful for the scraps and whatever you do will be spun to make poo poo harder for you down the line

i'm so tired

the UK has poorly maintained democratic mechanisms which are gummed up with the piss and poo poo of capital and newspapers owned by nazi freaks

this fact does not lend any legitimacy to the chinese or russian governments, nor their actions (especially in the last decade)

those governments being bad do not mean we should stop fighting for a more just world and a redistribution of wealth

The Chinese government recently lifted 800 million people out of rural poverty, provided high speed rail across the entire country, provide a consistent geopolitical obstacle to US-dominant global capitalism, actually punish their billionaires when they get out of line, have an actual future to offer their citizenry, teach marxism-leninism at school and have full acceptance of transgender people, everything that people go out and march for here is being achieved over there, I don't know what more supposed leftwing people would want from a government if not that. The revolution that feeds the children gets my support, and that's what's happening there, nothing is perfect but we in the UK are in no position to criticise a state that is demonstrably further along the road to socialism than us, especially a state that our state made great pains to oppress for hundreds of years and is playing catch-up to get to where it could have been already. All I'm saying is please don't disregard things as "bad" that we only hear about through media that is filtered down to us that has every interest in framing these things as "authoritarian" and "dictatorial", don't surrender to the thought stopping cliches.

i would love for all these things to be as flatly true as you say they are. assuming they are, do you think the xinjiang camps are necessary for these benefits

worth mentioning that every single unison correspondence about this was like "YOU SHOULD VOTE YES OR YOU WON'T GET poo poo". fully putting their whole elbow on the scales.

absolutely nothing out of christine mcenea or sara gorton inspires the slightest bit of confidence

thanks for the monthly leaflets about loving bingo and travel insurance or whatever though

i wish i'd never agreed to be communications officer for my branch because any help i get from higher up feels like doing PR for the union rather than actually trying to loving mobilise people

we have monthly meetings where we only get about half about the 12-strong committee and maybe a couple of non-committee members if we're lucky. we have about 500 members in our trust. the AGM wasn't much different. everyone's dog loving tired and too swamped with their own jobs to do any meaningful organising. i come up with ideas for trying to do outreach and get barely any acknowledgement.

i don't know what to do man. thinking of flaming out with an email after the NEC elections depending on how they go.

anyway here's the unison health tweet with unsurprising replies and QTs
