Trade unions joined Royal College of Nursing members outside Lincoln County Hospital for a demonstration on Thursday – calling for urgent government action to address the NHS crisis across Lincolnshire and beyond.
It was well-attended by a host of trade union bodies and activists, including the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers , the GMB Union, NASUWT and even Extinction Rebellion Lincolnshire.
“They are refusing to listen to what it is we are asking for. They’re calling us greedy because we want a pay rise, but what we’re ultimately asking for is a guarantee of patient safety. “We come together for the good of all”, he said. “The government may have brought in draconian measures that attempts to prevent us from taking strike action, but it doesn’t stop us showing solidarity and that’s what we are doing right now.”
