Nurses across Liverpool to strike on two days next month as one says 'we're in dire straits'

Nurses at all Liverpool hospitals will walk out on strike on two days next month as part of the biggest ever industrial action the profession has ever seen.

Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Aintree, Broadgreen, Liverpool Women's Hospital and other city sites will walk out on December 15 and 20 in a row over pay - with one city nurse telling the ECHO: "All we want is to be able to afford to live."

Royal College of Nursing members working on Agenda for Change contracts at hospital trusts across the country will be walking out. This includes Liverpool's main hospitals as well as the city's heart and chest hospital, the Walton Centre, The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and the Mersey Care mental health trust.
