Today is Strike Day nr 128. This article will help you understand what we're up against at Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust. Please share 🌷🫶🏻 #StrikeAction #Union #NHS www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Taking strike action for a prolonged period of time is financially taxing. If you want to show your support, click the link below and make a donation to our strike fund 🫶🏻 southwest.unison.org.uk/campaigns/fa...

A valuable lesson from the picket line: If workers are out on the streets, demanding x, y, z - you can be sure that there's a very VALID reason. The Phlebotomists of Gloucestershire Hospitals had their 127th day of strike action today. We don't do this for a laugh.

127 days of Strike Action today by the Phlebotomists of @gloshospitals.bsky.social

So proud to be part of this excellent coagulation (group of Phlebotomists). magazine.unison.org.uk/2025/07/30/w...

We stand with Mark Hemphill, the man that single-handedly exposed the true face of our CEO Kevin McNamara. Today is day 126 of the Phlebotomists Strike at Gloucestershire Hospitals. #United #NHS #StrikeAction #Gloucester #Cheltenham www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's official! Kevin McNamara is a bully. Lets highlight this now! The striking phlebotomists won't give up 💪🏻 @unison.org.uk @unisonsw.bsky.social #stopbullying www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouces...

UNISON's head of health Helga Pile joined Phlebotomists on the picket line in Gloucestershire today ✊🏼 Today is their 48th day of strike action, with the Trust still refusing to follow NHS rules and properly evaluate their pay and banding.

Gloucestershire Hospitals Phlebotomists Industrial Action Update Total Weeks of Industrial Action: 11 Meetings with Senior Management : 1 Result : 0 #FairPay #Gloucester #Cheltenham #NHS

Make this make sense ... Phlebotomists are non-medical staff!? Pardon? This comes from a link shared to the public regarding our current #Strike Action at Gloucestershire Hospitals.

I'm gonna need both! 👀 So many precious things going on @thesparkdotcompany.bsky.social

This would go well with our "phlebotomists"-burgundy uniform trousers! #NHS #IndustrialAction

"We are treated like we don't exist - we want recognition. Nobody goes into this job for the money, but we have to pay the bills and we can't do that now." 📢 Pay us what we're worth, or we won't go to work! #strike

Apparently our CEO isn't too fond of our flyers 🤔 Take a look at it, will you?

Could YOU live on £12.07 per hour? We are the lowest paid workers in our Trust at this time, yet this is what other Trusts are paying their Phlebotomists. #Band2 should be abolished! #Unfair pay has no place in the NHS!

Other highlights from the picket line; our dear colleague surprised us all with home-made Biryani 🫶🏻 Sadly have no pictures as it was immediately devoured 🙃 #phlebotomy #strike

Day 17 of Strike Action : We got word from our @unisonsw.bsky.social Rep that a Gloucester District Unite branch has donated a whopping £3000 to support our #strike 🥳 #IndustrialAction @gloshospitals.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING: Resident doctors in England have re-entered a pay dispute with the Government. Why? Because progress is being stonewalled by the continued delay in the publication of the DDRB's pay recommendations. Trust must be rebuilt. Publish the DDRB now bma.org.uk/residentspay

Day 16 of Strike Action : A lovely colleague from ENT brought snacks to our picket line @gloshospitals.bsky.social! 🫶🏻 We certainly feel the love. #Phlebotomy #Rebanding

Hello Cheltenham, this is Liverpool calling 📞 UNISON national health conference went live to the Gloucestershire phlebotomists on the picket line taking their 14th day of action. Take a look at the moment it happened: youtu.be/v4irblBbA9Y

I need ideas for fun activities we can do in the picket lines together! Next week we're looking at bad weather, so we need to keep morale up!!! Any ideas guys? 🤔 #Phlebotomist #StrikeAction

So lucky that we were able to show everyone at the conference how dedicated we are in our call for change 💪🏻 This was fun!

Concluding our 2. week of Industrial Action and we still haven't heard from/seen the shadow of Kevin McNamara.

Strike Action! It's been a long time coming ... www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouces... #phlebotomy #NHS

That other place was becoming rather cursed. Let's never speak of it again.
