About 50 NHS employees protested yesterday over the Scottish Government’s four per cent pay offer.

Workers representing nurses, ambulance workers and ancillary hospital staff held an hour-long socially distanced demo in Glasgow’s George Square. And union representatives told why they should reject the pay offer.

The Record revealed yesterday how the GMB union has urged its members to turn down the deal and called on the Scottish Government to increase the offer to those on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic.
