All of the latest news and views from the Unite NHSBT Branch in the NHS Blood and Transplant Authority. The views are those of the author (David Linsey) and not necessarily of Unite. The blog is currently open for comments to anyone registered with blogger.com.
Amicus will be balloting staff for possible strike action following management proposals to close most of the 14 processing centres and replace them with three new centres. There is no evidence that this will lead to a more efficient service. In fact, what evidence is available points to this being a backward step. The full news is on the BBC website.

I am a registered nurse (retired) with the Mitcham blood collection team based in South London. I am also a Unite (T&G Section) branch chair for the NHS Blood & Transplant Authority Branch. We have a single branch covering drivers and collection team members in the whole of the NHSBT. Members in the Labs are still in former Amicus branches follwoing the mergers of the TGWU and Amicus.
