Staff faced higher risks, structural racism, migrant worker precarity and weakened safety regulation. The Covid-19 Inquiry makes the findings clear. The NHS cannot keep people safe without real investment, strong partnership working and a government that puts staff first.

Healthcare staff were badly let down during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 Inquiry reveals about years of underfunding, unsafe conditions and the political decisions that left NHS workers exposed.

Reports today that Downing Street may be watering down proposed punitive reforms to the immigration system won’t be good enough, says UNISON general secretary @AndreaEganGS, adding the proposals should be scrapped altogether.

'Only the superhuman efforts of staff pulled the NHS back from the brink during the pandemic.' Sara Gorton from UNISON on the Covid Inquiry report into the NHS response to the pandemic.

Really strong piece from @HomertonUNISON branch, connecting the struggle of Gloucestershire strikers to wider victories for health workers. A must-read on the impact of sustained strike action—and why supporting long-running disputes matters for all workers.

Flexible working makes the NHS better. Today we're launching the Get Ahead on Flex pledge and calling on NHS employees to push forward progress so that EVERYONE can enjoy the benefits of flex. Visit talkaboutflex.org/getahead to find out more and back the pledge >>>

🚨📢 Migrant workers are essential to our health and care services and deserve dignity, respect and fair treatment. Government plans would make their lives harder and deepen the workforce crisis instead of fixing it. Read more ⬇️ unison.org.uk/news/2026/03/5…

Reform plan to destroy local government pensions, denying millions of workers a secure retirement income. This would be historic theft of workers’ deferred wages — hundreds of billions of pounds. UNISON members won’t hesitate to defend what’s ours. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Farage in power would be a catastrophe for the working class. Thatcher might be his hero, but he’d be even worse. Reform would launch attacks on the trade union movement that the Tories only dreamed of. UNISON will fight them every step of the way.
