💬 'I do more work than I can do for less pay than I’ve ever got' 🔴 Co-ordinated strikes for maximum disruption is only option, say NHS and civil service staff
Anna Kent, a midwife and a nurse from Dorset, said: ‘I consider leaving every day. Everybody does. I do more work than I can do for less pay than I’ve ever got’
Ms Kent has been a nurse for almost 20 years and a midwife for 12. “I have sacrificed my family life time and again for the NHS but what I’ve realised lately is that nothing was changing and it will only get worse,” she said. “I’ve written to my MP, and I’ve spoken out politically. So I have nothing else to give except to strike.
She added: “I’m a professional. I’ve got a Master’s, I’ve got a degree, I’ve got a diploma. I’ve been in this profession for 20 years. I’m good at my job. I’m experienced at my job. I never take sick leave unless I need it. I’m a good worker. Does it have to get to a point where I’m humiliated by asking for handouts before people will listen?”
