US EditionNurses to vote on pay deal as potential strike looms
- Today, almost 350,000 nurses in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland begin voting on whether to accept a 3.6% pay rise offered by the government.
- The vote follows last month's government acceptance of the Pay Review Body’s recommendation amid over a decade of pay erosion for nursing staff in England.
- The Royal College of Nursing condemned the pay rise as grotesque and said it will be entirely swallowed up by inflation, while nurses in Scotland have secured an 8% increase over two years.
- Professor Nicola Ranger expressed solidarity with nurses globally, questioning why UK government officials have once again placed nursing last in priority regarding pay increases.
- The RCN indicated that the result of the vote will shape their future approach and may lead to holding a strike ballot amid ongoing concerns about recruitment, retention, and equitable pay.
