GMB Trade Union - NHS workers reject pay award - GMB demands meeting with Streeting


GMB members have voted by 67 per cent to reject the pay award offered for 2025/26 in England.

The union has now written to the Secretary of State calling for an urgent meeting to discuss pay and other issues of significant importance to GMB members working across the NHS and ambulance services.

Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:

“GMB members in England have voted by a 67 per cent majority to reject the pay award offered for 2025/26.

“Our National NHS and Ambulance Committees met on 24 July to discuss the ballot results and determine what the next steps should be.

“Today, we have written to the Secretary of State, Wes Streeting, asking him to meet with us to discuss pay and other issues of significant importance to GMB members.

“We await his reply with interest.”
