RCN Nurses Reject Government's 5.5% Pay Offer Amid Labour Conference, Strike Action Looms
Sep 23, 2024, 11:48 AM
Nurses in England, represented by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), have overwhelmingly rejected the government's 5.5% pay offer. The rejection, with two-thirds of the 145,000 members voting against the proposal, comes amid a record high turnout for the RCN, the largest union in the NHS in England. This decision coincides with Rachel Reeves' speech at the Labour conference, where she expressed pride in delivering proper pay rises to public sector workers. The rejection has raised concerns about potential strike action, further complicating the government's position. Lisa Nandy emphasized the unions' right and duty to advocate for their members following the announcement.
