- Carried
This Health Conference notes that as expected the indications from the Early Implementers is that the proposals on unsociable hours, in particular, but not only, for low paid workers, will create huge difficulties for the health service. Conference therefore urges the national negotiators as a major priority to renegotiate on the basis of obtaining two (2) extra increments on the top of band 1 and two extra supplementary points for those whose unsociable hours amount to 30 and 35%.
In addition, proposals need to be introduced to give staff an incentive to do extra shifts to cover colleagues on annual leave, sick leave and special leave.
