Recruitment firms are offering nurses £40 an hour to cross picket lines. The offer was made ahead of a two-day walk out that starts today (Wednesday).
Recruitment agency Your World Healthcare, which provides temps to the NHS, said Registered General Nurses were “urgently required” for shifts at York Hospital during the strikes. Temps are being told they do not have to provide proof of their qualifications for the bumper pay rate, the Mirror reports.
The message said there was a “fast track compliance” process. The only documents required were said to be an application form, passport, CV, criminal records check and one proof of address.
