Scottish Nurses
have stopped their Strikes.

Their Nurses in Scotland accepted 7.4% Pay Rise.

STV1HD news

This isn't really accurate arista - two unions (Unison and Unite) have accepted the pay deal; Unison is the largest union but that's mainly in the form of lower-band workers - not nurses. The RCN (nursing union) has agreed to suspend strike action while more discussions take place but they have not accepted the pay deal.

interesting nhs info there folks..

mods?

:facepalm:

Good luck to them.
I support them 100%

I do hope the day does come where they are genuinely valued and rewarded from whatever government runs the Country both the one in now and any there may be in the future.

First Strike Day

They want 15%

Totally accurate .

They think they can use it to further the dismantling of the NHS (which is what they want) but apparently they think that if it all fails and they can truly move to privatisation, hundreds of thousands of private nurses will just suddenly pop into existence, like the private companies have them stored in a unit somewhere. It's the same nurses! They're going to implode the NHS and then their private buddies will set up, and find that there are no trained nurses left to hire.

Everyone I know who works in healthcare, if a freshed-faced young school leaver was to approach them and ask them what the best way to get into a healthcare career is, they would just say "the best thing to do is... don't do it."

Sad, sad situation.

Desperately sad situation this all is I agree completely.

The independent pay review
was set in Feb.
Nurses say it is well out of date
