People won’t ‘get well soon’ without decent sick pay. 💸
That’s why we’re supporting @progressivechange.bsky.social's campaign to raise the rate of Statutory Sick Pay, so everyone can afford to take time off to recover from injury or illness.

Statutory Sick Pay is inadequate - at around just £3 an hour it forces people into debt, pushes them into poverty and can make them leave their job.

The current sick pay system is not fit for purpose. Too many workers in the UK have to try and survive on £116 a week of Statutory Sick Pay.
Today we have written to the Prime Minister, alongside 23 Trade Unions, asking for an increase to the rate of Statutory Sick Pay. It is time for #SafeSickPay

24 trade union leaders have written to the Prime Minister expressing concern that Labour's manifesto commitment to "strengthen sick pay" isn't being honoured - and calling for an increase in Statutory Sick Pay.
