Some nurses in Scotland have shown support for strike action amid the current cost of living crisis.
A poll of over 200 nurses found that almost all Scottish nurses who were questioned are unhappy with the current pay offer from the NHS, with more than half supporting industrial action, which could include strikes. Nurses are represented by a number of unions in Scotland, including the Royal College of Nursing, Unison, GMB, and Unite.
Following a five percent pay award offer earlier in the year, the unions were quick to point out that the increased pay fell below the current level of inflation. Unison said in a statement that they were recommending that their members reject the pay offer.
