England's nurses reject 5.5 per cent government pay offer
NURSES in England rejected the government’s pay award of a 5.5 per cent rise for this year, their union has announced.
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members in England rejected the deal by two-thirds in a record-high turnout of around 145,000.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the pay award at the end of July, shortly after Labour won the general election.
