Nurses formed picket lines in Leeds on Monday to call for better pay and staffing condition as strike action continues.
Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) were picketing outside the Jubilee Wing of Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) on May 1 as disputes continue between the government and unions. Walkouts are set to last until midnight after a High Court judge ruled it was unlawful for the action to continue into Tuesday.
The strikes come ahead of a meeting on Tuesday where ministers, NHS bosses and union heads will discuss the government's 5% pay offer - RCN members rejected the offer in announcing their newest strike. Nurses on the picket line in Leeds today explained why it was so important for them to fight for their demands.
