NEU: Solidarity with NHS pay campaign

Members of the National Education Union demand a substantial pay rise for all NHS workers. 


We salute the massive contribution of NHS workers during the pandemic - but we also recognise that they were overdue a proper pay rise already, having endured a 20% pay CUT in real terms over the past 10 years of Tory austerity. 


NEU members know only too well the importance of safety, having had to take action to try and keep schools and communities safe. 


We stand in solidarity with healthworkers who have risked their health even more, and made enormous sacrifices, to look after us all. May 12 is Nurses Day - we are calling on all educators to take solidarity selfies at work and then take part in a Twitter storm from 7pm that day, using the pictures and the hashtags #NursesDay and #NHSPayRiseNow.


1% is an insult. Proper pay rise now.
