Ergonomic chairs are required under a EU derived regulation to protect from RSI and back pain. Would you rather workers sit on wooden benches and then go off sick with back and neck pain? #deform 🙄 #bbclaurak

Today the UK government recommended a pay increase of 2.8% for nursing staff in 2025/26, as little as £2 extra a day. This is deeply offensive, detrimental to patients & contradictory to hopes of rebuilding the NHS. We are calling for direct negotiations on pay - our full response: bit.ly/49Dn28s
Quote from Professor Nicola Ranger reads: We pulled out of the PRB process, alongside other unions, because it is not the route to address the current crisis. That has been demonstrated today. Fair pay must be matched by structural reform. Let’s open direct talks now and avoid further escalation to disputes and ballots – I have said that directly to government today.
