The 74 percent turnout reflects mass opposition to the subco, a fire-and-rehire scheme by NHS England aimed at gutting pay, terms, conditions and pensions. NHS England has not scrapped the subco plan, it has merely announced a “pause.” Furthermore, subcos can proceed locally if supported by the unions. This is the future facing all NHS workers if the carve-up is allowed to continue. To overcome the divisions being imposed by the bureaucracy and their collusion with NHS England, workers must organise independently.
