Episode Details

Hundreds of healthcare workers across four Manchester hospitals are set to strike next week, demanding fair overtime pay after claiming they’re being paid less than their regular wages—sometimes losing up to £80 per shift. The dispute centers on the hospital trust’s use of an external agency, NHS Professionals, which staff say has created pay inequities. Despite a broken negotiation attempt, union members are preparing for three walkout days—August 24, 26, and 28—with a unified protest planned in Salford on the 26th. Hospitals will face disruption, but workers insist management must honor contracts before talks resume.
