GMB union votes in favour of Government's pay offer to health workers
GMB national officer Rachel Harrison said: "This new pay offer would not have happened without the strike action taken by ambulance and other GMB health workers.
"GMB members have voted to accept the offer, which means GMB union will vote in favour of the pay offer at the NHS joint staff council meeting next week. "Our members recognise that progress has been made - from the Government originally offering nothing, health workers will be thousands of pounds better off.
"It also meets a key GMB demand of a huge pay uplift for the lowest paid, lifting them above the Real Living Wage."GMB now needs action for our ambulance members - starting by addressing their retirement and unsocial hours enhancement concerns."GMB will continue this fight, so that the NHS and ambulance workers, who serve and care for the public, finally get the fair deal they deserve.
Members of other unions, including Unison, have also accepted the offer, while members of the Royal College of Nursing rejected it and will strike this weekend.
