Commenting on the above-inflation, two-year pay offer made today (Tuesday) by the Scottish government to health unions, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said:“Talks with Scottish ministers have delivered a serious wage offer for NHS staff north of the border. “Their English colleagues, and health workers in Wales and Northern Ireland, will understandably be feeling more than a little envious. “Scottish health workers already earn more each hour.

The government’s decision to stick with the ‘painfully slow’ NHS pay review body process means yet another lengthy delay before health workers in England* get the annual wage rise they should be due today (Tuesday), says UNISON. NHS staff are meant to receive their pay increase on 1 April every year, but this hasn’t been delivered on time in a very long while, adds the union. And this year is no different with the workforce left waiting once more.

Brutal commute! Certainly changed since I was there. Tolls are commonplace in California.

Over two hours from Mt Pleasant to West Ashley!! This is horrible for commuters and clearly shows we need to do something. I will float the idea once again for an outer loop… 726. Four lanes each way… starts in northern Mt Pleasant… stretches through Nexton, Knightsville https://t.co/lQ5sOItC5k
