Nurses across the United Kingdom will take part in two days of industrial action next month - in what appears to be a breaking point in rows over pay between the NHS and the current Conservative government.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) - which represents over two thirds of the National Health Service's nurses - announced that members will stage their first ever industrial nursing walkout on a national scale on December 15 and 20.
The RCN say that it was calling for action, after the Tories turned down an offer of civil, formal, and detailed negotiations as an alternative to hands on striking.
