Health workers ready to strike over late pay deal

Health workers have held a protest at Stormont over pay. Members of the union, Unison, gathered ahead of a meeting of the Health Committee.

The workers are angry that their 2024/25 pay rise has not yet been actioned meaning their pay has fallen behind health workers pay in the rest of the UK.

Maura McKenna, the co-chair of Unison’s Regional Health Committee, said healthcare workers in Northern Ireland are frustrated at their treatment.

“We are being told the Minister would like to pay it but he doesn’t have the money to pay it. We have staff here working at 1p above the minimum wage and that is not acceptable.”

Unison represents over 27,000 workers in the health service across Northern Ireland.
