Nurses union to reject pay deal as strike vote looms
BBC, nurses will overwhelm the payment prizes in the UK this week, and the BBC will increase the possibility of strikes later in the year.
The Royal Nursing College (RCN) has previously voted for a 3,6% wage increase in wages that have previously described nurses as “grotesque” to increase a lower increase than doctors, teachers, prison officials and armed forces.
No decision on the official strike action will not be made until the later hours of the year.
The government has adopted the proposals of an increase of 3.6% for nurses this year.
The union will explain the results of the indicator game later this week, but the BBC understands that the agreement will show a “overwhelming” rejection.
Participation is expected to be over 50% threshold for industrial action.
The union will demand that they will negotiate during the summer to avoid an official ballot for strike action in autumn.
It is understood that RCN is open to negotiations not only for the title payment, but also on wider paid structures.
“The results will be announced to our members this week. As the largest part of the labor force, nursing staff does not feel valuable and the government should start to reverse it urgently.”
On Friday, the GMB Union, representing thousands of health workers, including ambulance teams, rejected the government’s wage agreement in the first advisory vote.
GMB said that its members voted 67% against the 3.6% award for 2025/26 in the UK.
The union called for an emergency meeting to discuss shares and other issues.
GMB National Secretary Rachel Harrison said: “National NHS and Ambulance Committees met on July 24 to discuss the results of the ballot and determine what the next steps should be.
“Today, we wrote to Foreign Minister Wes Streeting and asked him to meet with us to pay for GMB members to pay and discuss other important issues.
“We expect the answer with interest.”
In the UK, thousands of located doctors, known as young doctors, launched a five -day strike on Friday after the government and the British Medical Association did not reach an agreement on payment.
Health secretary, NHS’deki elimination of disruption, although it is not possible to be kept at the minimum, he said.
