The nurses have warned that they may take industrial action later this year unless their salaries are improved. The RCN has urged ministers to increase the pay offer to avoid a potential strike ballot. The rejection of the 3.6% pay award by nine out of 10 nurses highlights the dissatisfaction among healthcare workers with the current pay levels and the need for the government to address this issue to avoid potential disruptions in healthcare services.
