Luisa Zissman has launched an extraordinary rant blasting NHS workers who are planning to strike over pay, branding them ‘irresponsible’, ‘cruel’ and “=’jumped up t****’.
The former Apprentice star, 35, says staff should never have entered the profession if they were concerned about salaries.
She argued they knew full well what they would earn, and that they should quit and ‘do something else’, rather than strike.
Having her say: Luisa Zissman has launched an extraordinary rant blasting NHS workers who are planning to strike over pay, branding them ‘irresponsible’, ‘cruel’ and “=’jumped up t****’
The entrepreneur added she would never have considered working for the NHS herself because ‘the money is not enough’ and she ‘doesn’t give a s*** enough’.
Speaking on her LuAnna podcast to co-host Anna Williamson, Luisa said: ‘When you’re in this industry it’s completely irresponsible to strike and put people’s lives at risk. Sorry, it’s unacceptable.
‘You have a child that’s waiting for a transplant and that kid doesn’t get that heart because of some f****** jumped-up t****.
Opinion: The former Apprentice star, 35, says staff should never have entered the profession if they were concerned about salaries
‘I’m sorry, but you chose. When you went into that profession, you haven’t gone in blind. You know what that pay is for that profession.
‘Every profession has a pay, an account, a teacher… So don’t go into it then.’
She continued: ‘Don’t go into it willing to go on that pay and then go “actually, I don’t want to do it anymore because of the pay”.
‘If you’re not happy with the pay that job offers, do a different f****** job from the offset.’
Angry: She argued they knew full well what they would earn, and that they should quit and ‘do something else’, rather than strike
Ministers are planning to draft in up to 600 members of the Armed Forces to deal with the raft of pre-Christmas strikes planned by trade unions.
More than 200,000 nurses, ambulance workers and hospital staff could walk-out at the same time after voting to strike in a row over pay and conditions.
Senior insiders warned last week that fears the NHS will suffer its worst ever winter are ‘fast becoming reality’.
But Luisa, has little sympathy with staff members threatening to walk out, saying she would never have considered entering the profession knowing the salaries on offer, adding that the pay increase being demanded by unions – 17.6 per cent – is unrealistic.
Wouldn’t dream of it: The entrepreneur added she would never have considered working for the NHS herself because ‘the money is not enough’ and she ‘doesn’t give a s*** enough’
Luisa, who co-owns gifting company Silly Sentiments, said: ‘I wouldn’t do that job because I wouldn’t be happy to work for that amount.
‘I wouldn’t go into that job in the first place, so don’t f****** do it – you know what the pay is. It f**** me off.
‘I give my staff yearly pay reviews for what we do. It’s not common, it’s not a legal or needed requirement to do that, it’s ridiculous.
‘That’s not a normal thing to have that, it’s just what people would ideally want. I’m not saying it’s right they should have it or shouldn’t have it.
Taking action: More than 200,000 nurses, ambulance workers and hospital staff could walk-out at the same time after voting to strike in a row over pay and conditions
‘It f**** me off. Just don’t do that job, then the salaries would naturally go up because they’d have to do a drive for recruitment because the services would be struggling so they’d have to pay more to attract people to do the job, but when you’re already got people doing it or have done it…
‘It just annoys me, people striking in this type of career, I think it’s really irresponsible and cruel and goes against everything by the way that they should do in that industry.
‘You go into that because you really care, I would think. You don’t go into that job for the money.
‘A, the money’s not enough for me and, B, I don’t give a s*** enough, but people who go into that job really f****** care and want to make a difference.’
Strikes: This map shows the hospitals where the Royal College of Nursing will hold its first strikes over pay on Thursday 15 and Tuesday 20 December
However the former Celebrity Big Brother star does concede that NHS staff do deserve an increase in pay if their workload has substantially increased
She added: ‘If you’re working more, you should be paid more. If your job’s bigger.
‘I support the fact they should be paid more if they’re working more and more is on their plate, and if that’s happening they shouldn’t be having to strike to get a pay rise, they should have a pay rise.
‘They deserve more pay. What they do is life saving, they have one of the most important jobs in the country.’
Negotiations: The Royal College of Nursing is demanding a 19.2 per cent pay increase for its members and says devastating NHS strikes will go ahead unless ministers enter ‘formal pay negotiations’
