"I hear you and clearly a higher settlement is deserved. However, they are the only public sector workers to get a rise at all (firefighters, police etc have been frozen again) so there us a small acknowledgement of their status. Additionally, furlough is continuing beyond the originally planned dates which costs money. Vaccines are being paid for, which costs money. I would love NHS staff to be getting a much higher offer, I am just not sure where the money would come from." Firefighters, police etc were given a pay increase last year while nurses weren’t. Shouldn’t the NHS be £350 million a week better off now anyway, I’m sure I read it on a bus somewhere! | |||

"Furlough is great in that it’s allowing people to continue their lives during lockdown, but it’s pretty frustrating to work hard all through the pandemic whilst others put their feet up, then be taxed to pay for it afterwards. " Agree with you totally, i think those that worked through it should not be taxed more but those who where furloughed should have a slightly higher tax code to pay for there year off | |||

"Furlough is great in that it’s allowing people to continue their lives during lockdown, but it’s pretty frustrating to work hard all through the pandemic whilst others put their feet up, then be taxed to pay for it afterwards. " I too have worked through, being considered "key". I am quite sure the majority in furlough would have much preferred to have continued to earn their full salary than 'put their feet up'. Many many public sector frontline key workers have taken risks and been exposed. All deserve to be recognised, and by far and away at the top of that list is the NHS. Of course they should get more. T The question remains, in a nation whose citizens protest against paying tax, where does the money come from? | |||

That is incorrect. 1st April 2020 marked the start of the third and final year of the three year deal agreed by the NHS Council in 2018. | |||

The thing it’s not just public sector workers that are key workers & have worked through this taking risk. Why is it the NHS should be at the top of the list? Yes the ones at the coal face taking more risk, but let’s be honest not all have taken as big a risk as is being made out. There are plenty of NHS staff that don’t work in hospitals or doctors surgery’s etc, but in office blocks, there’s well over a million people working for the NHS it’s one of the world’s largest employers not all can claim to be front line staff x | |||

"Firstly let me say that the news today hasn’t surprised me at all. I know that there are plenty of other people who have lost their jobs and been put on short hours or less pay so how can we possibly moan. I know that there have been other key workers who feel that they deserve recognition as well for working through the entire pandemic. What I will say though is that I feel that we have just been forgotten about again. At the start of the pandemic I was moved from my normal duties and literally given a crash course in itu and placed in a position that I never thought that I would ever have to be in. It was a very rare occurrence in my position to witness somebody die, all of a sudden I was in a helpless position of trying to comfort people and watch them slowly struggle and die in front of me without being able to say goodbye to their loved ones. If that wasn’t awful enough day after day we also didn’t know if we were endangering ourselves and our family. The early weeks and months when little was known about the disease you couldn’t help but fear wether you would catch it yourself and how it would affect you and your loved ones. I used to drive home and keep my family at arms length until I had changed my clothes and showered, you couldn’t help but be paranoid. Of course some of my colleagues did catch it, some struggled and never returned to work. We were constantly short staffed as there were always a number of staff off self isolating. I always loved my job but I was dreading every day when I had to go to work. My shifts became longer and my days off were few and far between. It’s getting better now but it’s not quite back to normal and the things that I have seen and had to deal with over the past 12 months will never be forgotten, not by me anyway. Do I deserve a pay rise for what I’ve been through over the last year, I don’t know really as I was just doing my job. "

"In response to the post that was aimed at me..getting paid for being off sick isnt a bonus. As for the pensions, that went to court and the gmnt were found to have acted illegally. I don't work for the nhs and I havent got a clue about these leasehold car thing. It certainly not a public sector wide thing. I also find it quite interesting you get all worked up the nhs getting a whipping 1%pay rise but are quite blade about the billions given to their mates in the ppe scandal. Bringing shipman into a debate about the NHS getting a pay rise is beyond contempt." You have said in a previous post your link to the NHS or implied it. The NHS where his employer & their responsibility & embarrassment, you celebrating deaths in other post is contemptible. Me saying that the NHS is not full of all deserving Angeles & saints is a fact of life & you always like facts Lionel, get over it as you said to me the other day. & when have you heard me defend miss spending of tax payer money, no you have heard me say it’s not Boris’s job to order PPE, & that the people who should of didn’t, yet you blame Boris, & want to reward their failure to do their job with a big pay rise. Id give them nothing & give it to the front line staff. | |||

"Furlough is great in that it’s allowing people to continue their lives during lockdown, but it’s pretty frustrating to work hard all through the pandemic whilst others put their feet up, then be taxed to pay for it afterwards. I too have worked through, being considered "key". I am quite sure the majority in furlough would have much preferred to have continued to earn their full salary than 'put their feet up'. Many many public sector frontline key workers have taken risks and been exposed. All deserve to be recognised, and by far and away at the top of that list is the NHS. Of course they should get more.

"In response to the post that was aimed at me..getting paid for being off sick isnt a bonus. As for the pensions, that went to court and the gmnt were found to have acted illegally. I don't work for the nhs and I havent got a clue about these leasehold car thing. It certainly not a public sector wide thing. I also find it quite interesting you get all worked up the nhs getting a whipping 1%pay rise but are quite blade about the billions given to their mates in the ppe scandal. Bringing shipman into a debate about the NHS getting a pay rise is beyond contempt. You have said in a previous post your link to the NHS or implied it. The NHS where his employer & their responsibility & embarrassment, you celebrating deaths in other post is contemptible. Me saying that the NHS is not full of all deserving Angeles & saints is a fact of life & you always like facts Lionel, get over it as you said to me the other day. & when have you heard me defend miss spending of tax payer money, no you have heard me say it’s not Boris’s job to order PPE, & that the people who should of didn’t, yet you blame Boris, & want to reward their failure to do their job with a big pay rise. Id give them nothing & give it to the front line staff. When did I ever say they were? They employ 100'000s of people. I'm presuming you applaud no builders shouod ever get a rise because of fred west? Trouble is the NHS pay grade system fought for by the unions precludes picking specific jobs for pay rises. Dunno about the nhs ,but public sector unions try to target those at the bottom end of the scale when the gmnt are handing out peanuts. I bet you take more time off than most, are the least efficient in your department but do a great job for your members, well that’s what you tell them.

"the tory party risk taking a hammering over this in the upcomming elections. You are so wrong about this the election is not relevent at this time" i disagree. local elections and so forth have always been a hotbed of protest voting and i see no reason for any change in that now, especially as there appears to be lots of people with something to protest about regardless of political leanings. | |||

"It is badd I feel should have been three maybe but cut back somewhere else to pay for it so the government will still be critisised For me the police also have a good case but again who do you take money off that is the problem" The rich elite who don’t pay anything would be a starting point don’t you think? That would sort the nurses, police and have a chunk left over. | |||

"I can't get my head around why they unions think a 12.5% pay rise is required for nurses, who do what they are contracted and payed to do. Anyone offered a contract of employment should read the terms and conditions before they sign up to it. How about bin men, farmers, grave diggers shop workers and the like who are critical to ensure our world keep turning but no mention of any huge wage demands from them. " Over the last ten years nurses have effectively had a decrease in wages of around £3500 a year because rises have failed to stay in line with inflation despite inflation being at an all time low. We had to endure a five year pay freeze along with an increase in tax and an increase in pension contributions. Shopkeepers are all employed by the private sector as are farmers so comparing is irrelevant. Bin men and grave diggers have had rises over the last decade in line with inflation. Maybe they can’t afford to give us a decent rise this year but they could do something like not charging us our nursing registration fees for this year ( yes we have to pay a fee to work ) or give us free car parking for work. | |||

I don’t agree with strikes and it’s against the code of conduct that I signed up for.

Because we are giving people to people who dont live in this country..the money is going abroad as opposed to nurses in this country..who exactly do you think it is blaming?
It is blaming those that make that Decision is how I read the post not blaming foreigners at all. As I said it is a criticism of the government not the recipient of the money
Right..so when you hear phrases like.. why should we give India money..they are rich enough as it Is..absolutely no critism is being levelled at the recipient?
As I said the way I read the post they were criticising the government for the decisions not the recipient of the money. The government are in charge of any aid not those that receive it
Whu do you think people object to foreign aid?
Surely you need to ask those that do. I don't blame the recipient's of aid for the decisions made by the UK government
See essex blokes post above
He made my point more than I ever could.
So Lionel do you think it was acceptable to give UK tax money to a country that sends people into space?"It's a different argument. India is in some ways a rich country..in others ways its impoverished. Anyway the aid bill Is getting slashed isnt it? | |||

"If we stop giving so much money away there would be more money to pay nurses ect
We cannot both give money to other countries and also pay more to essential people
Blame der foreeners
Outstanding.
Who said blame the foreigners?
I said if the U.K. did not give away the money there would be money to pay nurses essential workers ect.
Nothing to do with blaming foreigners
I don't see anywhere that you blamed anything on foreigners. If anything you were criticising the UK government as its their actions you refer too very clearly
I think it was the bit where his exact words where..we cannot give money away to other countries which was the giveaway.
But obviously 2 people didmt read that bit.

"a more generous pay rise will result in far more people entering the nhs & social care as a career which will generate more more spending in local & wider economies and increase the tax take. it's win win just when the country needs it most Its austerity again After all it worked a treat last time. The country has spent more than its earnt every single year since 2001. "Austerity" don't make me laugh So..austerity didn't happen? Austerity means spending less than you have. We consistently spend more than we have, every year. So no, no it didnt happen. " You don't understand what austerity is do you? | |||

I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't blame India or any other recipient for getting aid so I don't blame it on foreigners which is how I read the original post
So because you dont..no one does?
The main reason people object to foreign aid is because they dont need it.
You dont hear people saying.. why are we sending money to starving people.
Anyway like I said
.the Essex falla proved my point."Your mixing things up. I was commenting on the post about the UK government giving money and said I don't think the poster was blaming foreigners for that instead he was criticizing the government. I never at any point said no one objects to aid, in fact I said everyone is entitled to their opinion. Your discussion with Essex bloke is purely that and nothing to do with what I have said | |||

People are sick to the back teeth of them.of who the nurses ? The gmnt. Once covid is over there will be ballots for strike action across education, care etc.care how does that happen when was last time all the carers wheat on strike ? I think unison are getting ready for when this is over Ah yes, unison, headed by the austere Dave Prentis on 140 odd thousand a year lol Thought it was a woman in charge of Unison?
Christina McAnea is the leader of unison
Oh actually it’s worse than that, union chief of the Royal college of nursing Dame Donna Kinair is on 166,000 lol
Are you sure you have the right person this time?
Two different unions with two different heads Lionel, both fat cats.
Both representing parts of the NHS."£160k isn’t that what Javid is getting part time whilst still working “full time “ as an MP? Just saying ... fat cats n all. To be fair Javid used to earn a few million a year in his banking role before getting into Parliament so he has been struggling on such a low income. The point is there are fat cats everywhere. And we let them get the cream year after year. | |||

"Furlough is great in that it’s allowing people to continue their lives during lockdown, but it’s pretty frustrating to work hard all through the pandemic whilst others put their feet up, then be taxed to pay for it afterwards. Agree with you totally, i think those that worked through it should not be taxed more but those who where furloughed should have a slightly higher tax code to pay for there year off" Why should those furloughed be taxed more? I didnt ask to be laid off for over a year and take a 20% pay cut so aswell as catching up on debts when i finally start earning full wages again you think i should be taxed more aswell and as for sitting around with there feet up i should imagine the majority of peeps are like myself slowly starting to go stir crazy | |||

"We were all asked to make sacrifices to protect the NHS. Millions of people have given up a percentage of their salary for a year. Hundreds of thousands will lose jobs. Nearly 80,000 have lot their homes, so far. Millions are on waiting lists for treatment. Now they want more and the NHS unions call for strike because we haven't protected them enough. Maybe don't like this, but doesn't make it untrue. I think there is a silent majority who are very aware of the contribution being made by everyone." I genuinley think the big issue Is the preceding decade. For the last 11 years now there have been been pay caps,/freezes. Now once again ,they are being hit again. People have had enough. If for the last 10 years people would have had decent pay rises,most people would have said,ok..we are skinnt.. we all need to take the hit. But this feels like the final straw. Plus of course.. we arent all going to take the hit. | |||

Right now, it's not a done deal and everyone is acting like it's a knife to the heart. Is it low? Yes it is, but all negotiations start with one side low and the other high. Let's see how it play out before we cast our aspersions. It's not a staring offer,its the gmnt recommendation. It's been universally condemned. The fact that the usual suspects cant utter a word of even mild criticsm just shows just how 'impartial' their opinions are. The only thing I will add is that whilst the nhs is getting all the headlines, there are 100,000s of other people who worked through the pandemic who have been thanked with a pay freeze. Whether this translates into widespread industrial actin depends how pissed off people are. Do you honestly believe 1% is what they will end up with? Maybe you missed the part where they will all argue and settle on something higher. It's something unions are actually good for. Ok, what percentage do you think they should get? It doesn't really matter what I think they should get. Contract negotiations are about much much more than base pay." No, you've made some very contentious posts on here, so about time you made your position clear regarding what's fair for nurses. What percentage? | |||

No I will not clap, neither did I clap last year. It's nothing but a PR stunt. Most NHS workers I know hated it.

As I said before, base salary is a small part of contract negotiations. I don't know how much they 'deserve' as I don't know what else in the contract. Maybe you'll understand one day that it isn't as simple as just giving a figure. | |||

"My answer for this joke, is to give the government a pay freeze. After the amount their wages went up, it should be able to give some key workers a slightly better raise." Already done ... both MP and Ministerial salaries - frozen. | |||

For many of them ,their salary is immaterial. Its all the perks,2and,3rd jobs.consultancies etc.. Look at the likes of reece mogg..he probably doesnt even need his salary. | |||
