Nurses mull strike over pay rise
Nurses are likely to reject a 3% pay rise as too low and may take industrial action in response to the government’s offer. The Royal College of Nursing told the BBC it would be consulting members over potential strikes, describing staff as “angry”. During what The Guardian describes as “a day of confusion and rising tensions”, the government yesterday dropped plans to make only 1.5% of the 3% uplift a permanent increase to salaries, with the other 1.5% in effect coming as a one-off bonus. Other health unions also plan to ballot their memberships over possible strike action.
