A nurse going on strike at a Greater Manchester hospital this weekend has slammed the pay for her profession — claiming she could earn a similar amount at a budget supermarket without the same level of stress.
She also explained that, despite concerns in other parts of the country, the strike is not expected to cause havoc in Greater Manchester. The Royal College of Nursing union is staging a walkout from 8pm on Sunday to 11.59pm on Monday (May 1) at Tameside Hospital, The Christie, and the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan.
It’s the latest industrial action in a dispute over pay, but nurses from other unions have accepted the government’s offer, so have returned to work.
