NICOLA gives Scottish NURSES 4% pay rise

[Crimson Dynamo]

The 4% pay rise for NHS workers has seen Boris Johnson put under pressure to
do the same in England.

Scots NHS workers have been told their wages will increase by 4% as a
means of saying thank to for their hard work throughout the Coronavirus
pandemic.

"The Scottish Government is offering a 4% pay rise, which would deliver
guaranteed minimum increase of £1000 for those earning less than £25,000
and 5.4% increase for staff on lowest pay band...and all backdated to
December 2020.

It's not to be sneezed at, works out as £100 - £150 a month (pre-tax :idc: ) for most full time staff.

All to help her Election.

Good on her

[Jake.]

Good on her. Making our government seem even more ridiculous (if that was possible).

[Ammi]

...:lovedup:...it’s a significant increase that goes a long way to show nurses how much they have been and are valued...well done Nicola...:love:..

[Niamh.]

All to help her Election.

Good plan, people will vote for the kind of party that give back to those who deserve it. I'd vote for her if I were Scottish

[Kate!]

Well done wee Nicola. Xx

[bots]

people have to seriously consider where we would have been now without the dedication of so many within the nhs. If that doesn't deserve a decent pay bump, i don't honestly know what does

[joeysteele]

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
As well as being firm as a leader another quality she has in abundance is genuine compassion and respect too.

She knows the debt owed to the Nurses, so it's no surprise to me that she has decreed this rise for them.

[Beso]

She needs to sort out the corrupt police Scotland now she seems to have found funding all of a sudden.

Get those cameras on the fascist bastards.

[Beso]

She should backdate it to the start of covid.

[Greg!]

Queen! Bloody love our Nic
