Belfast Trust branches hold demonstrations on pay and the health crisis

This week UNISON healthcare workers across the Belfast Trust held demonstrations on pay and the crisis within our health services.

Demonstrations were held at the Shankill Wellbeing Centre, Royal Victoria Hospital, Mater Hospital, Belfast City Hospital, Knockbracken Healthcare and Musgrave Park.

UNISON Regional Organiser, Joe McCusker, said, “our members and healthcare workers are taking this action today to protest against the below-inflation pay award they have been offered which falls far short of what they deserve and more importantly need to protect themselves and their families from the rising costs of living. Today’s demonstrations by healthcare workers forms part of UNISON’s campaign on a fair pay deal for healthcare workers.”
