Nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland overwhelmingly reject 3.6% pay rise

Nurses in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland have overwhelmingly rejected the government's 3.6% pay rise offer. The Royal College of Nursing, the union representing these nurses, conducted an indicative vote, and the members voted by a large majority to reject the award. This rejection could lead to further strikes in the NHS, as the nurses view the pay increase as "grotesque" and insufficient. The article suggests that the nurses are dissatisfied with the government's proposed pay rise and are willing to take collective action to demand better compensation. The outcome of this vote could have significant implications for the ongoing negotiations between the government and the nursing workforce.
