Gear up for five days for fair pay

Health branches in England are mobilising for the 13 October strike for fair pay, for four hours from 7am to 11am.

This will be followed by four days of action short of a strike, on Tuesday 14 October to Friday 17 October, focused on making sure members take their breaks.

 In addition to the four hour strike on 13 October, members in the smbulance service will be called on to work no overtime during the period 14-17 October.

Members of the British Association of Occupational Therapists (BAOT) and of Managers in Partnership (MiP) who have been balloted are also covered by this.

The union is calling on all health branches in England to start mobilising for successful action now.
