Hospital Staff Strike Over Overtime Pay | Manchester News

Hundreds of hospital workers across four Greater Manchester hospitals are striking over unpaid overtime, claiming they’re earning less for extra shifts than regular ones—up to £80 less per shift. The union Unison says the Northern Care Alliance pulled a potential deal before talks even began, leaving staff with no choice but to walk out. Past patient safety concerns tied to staff burnout add urgency, while the trust insists theatre staff get better rates and blames the union for rejecting their offer to support critical care during the strike. Non-urgent procedures will be delayed, and patients will be contacted directly—but the standoff continues as both sides remain locked in dispute.
