Today the South East Essex Green Party joined other local campaigners on the Green outside Southend Hospital today to show solidarity with striking health workers.
This unprecedented NHS industrial action is happening as a last resort and as a direct consequence of our essential workers being overworked and underpaid by successive governments.
It is unsafe and unfair to subject our frontline workers, who do such an amazing and thankless job, to such relentless pressures and exploitation. None of our medical professionals should ever have to contend with in-work poverty.
The Green Party proudly stands with striking workers.
We say; You clapped them, now pay them.
