Nurses are striking in Wales on Thursday, December 12, for the first time in their history. The strike has come amidst a pay dispute between nursing union the RCN and the Welsh Government.
Nurses in Wales have been offered a £1,400 pay increase which would mean the biggest percentage rises for people at the start of their careers on the lowest incomes. But it is much lower than the 5% plus inflation rise which the RCN has been asking for.
People on the picket lines told WalesOnline they were not just striking about pay but also about working conditions and patient safety with one saying they are left in tears at the end of a difficult shift. See live updates here.
