Nursing, ambulance and midwife unions suspend strike in Wales after pay offer from Welsh Government

Unions representing nurses, midwives and ambulance staff have suspended strike action after receiving a pay offer from the Welsh Government. Strikes had been due to go ahead on Monday, February 6.

But the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), the GMB and the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) have called it off to allow further negotiations to take place with the Welsh Government. The offer is a 1.5% pay increase that will go into workers wages and be repeated next year and a one-off payment of 1% of a worker's salary.
