Union bosses claim that a pay deal rejected by nurses and midwives has now been “imposed” on workers.
Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Royal College of Midwives and NHS and ambulance staff in GMB Scotland voted to reject a pay deal from the Scottish Government, which would see an average wage increase of 7.5 per cent.
They are planning to strike in the new year – the first such move in the history of RCN Scotland – while Unite and Unison have called off industrial action after accepting the offer.
