Health and care workers have lost up to 23% of their pay in real terms since 2010 and are working in intolerable conditions without adequate PPE and with insufficient testing. 

We call for:

·      An immediate pay rise of at least 10% for health workers, care workers and other frontline workers + hazard pay to workers working with suspected Covid-19 patients 

·       All key workers to have pay levels restored to the 2010 level

·       For local industries to transfer production to PPE under public ownership

·       Trade union control of PPE production and distribution

·       Trade union control of testing

·       Support for health workers and care workers taking action to protect safety

·       Support workers who take action in solidarity with health workers, care workers and other frontline workers

·       Call for the Thursday clap for health-workers to demand “PPE” and “Tests For All”
