UNISON wins U-turn for trainee nursing associates

UNISON won an important victory today, after the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust reversed a decision to cut the pay of trainee nursing associates and end their training.
The trainees received letters on Monday telling them that, because of the coronavirus crisis, their training would be ended, with no resumption guaranteed.
They would also be expected to take a pay cut of up to £1,700 – even as they were deployed to the frontline in the fight against COVID-19.
