Health workers at NHS Tayside could go on strike next month after 55,000 nurses and other medical staff in Scotland were urged to vote in favour of industrial action over pay.
The union Unison officially begun balloting its members on Monday over the Scottish Government’s five per cent pay rise for NHS staff for 2022-23.
Unison saw a comprehensive 91 per cent of its NHS members vote to reject the offer, similar to the 89 per cent from Unite’s union members, who also rejected the deal.
