UNISON, UNITE and RCN Lobby of Weston Hospital Board Meeting over Regional Pay

Members of North Somerset UNISON, UNITE and the RCN demonstrated at Weston General Hospital early this morning, against plans to introduce regional pay in the NHS across the South West. At lunch time members of North Somerset UNISON were on Weston High Street asking members of the public to sign a petition against Regional Pay. Here are a few pictures from the lobby.

Labour Councillor Richard Tucker joined us at today's lobby.
