The 3% pay offer for health workers was widely condemned. The unions pointed out that the pay rise was too low to have any impact on the serious staff shortages that persist across the health sector. Local government employers made a small increase in their pay offer, but this still meant only a 1.75% increase for most workers (2.75% for the lowest paid) in contrast to the 10% pay demand submitted by unions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.unison.org.uk\u002Fnews\u002F2021\u002F07\u002Funison-launches-consultation-over-nhs-rise-that-doesnt-meet-expectations-or-the-real-living-wage\u002F\"> in English. \u003C\u002Fa>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.unison.org.uk\u002Fnews\u002F2021\u002F07\u002Fcouncil-staff-who-kept-local-services-and-schools-running-deserve-a-real-pay-rise\u002F\"> in English (2).\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
