| Royal College of Nurses 16:44 - Nov 9 with 1999 views | britferry | Have voted for strike action for the first time in their 100 year existence. I don't think its a matter of one out all out, I think its decided by each local hospital board. They've calculated they've had a 20% pay cut in real terms over the last 10 years. |  |

They do deserve better. It wasn't that long ago that Boris, Hancock et al were out on the doorstep clapping them. Their contribution being quickly forgotten by those virtue signallers then. |  | |  |

You know better than me Jim. But if the turnout was too low to count in England and not all regions in Wales voted to strike, is it a national strike or does it vary region to region. No agenda just asking the question. |  | |  |

We're paying the price for inept, corrupt politicians and yet we just seem to accept our lot .I just hope that the goodwill we have towards our medical profession doesn't become fractured but I think it will once stories of missed or cancelled appointments start surfacing in the media . |  |

Yes they do, I would give all low paid workers big rises and pay for it by taking some money off high paid workers and if those high paid workers don't like it and want to go abroad chasing money then let them go I say. |  |

Indeed. There’s a market rate for jobs. Pay the market rate or you can’t recruit. Simple. |  | |  |
| Royal College of Nurses on 18:33 - Nov 9 with 779 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | It’s not just nurses. I think this winter we will reach a breaking point. People are working fifty, sixty seventy hours a week and will still be unable to play their bills. Millions will face eviction or repossession. People having to choose between food and heat and barely be able to afford either. Meanwhile these companies selling the energy and the food will no doubt be posting massive unprecedented profits of squillions of pounds. Something is going to snap. We cannot go on like this. |  |

I agree. Pay them more. Cut Trident to pay for it. |  |

What is the market rate for a nurse ?, what if all employers pay below the market ? (most employers might already be paying below the market rate). |  |

The correct market rate is whatever it takes to successfully staff the service. If NHS employers don’t pay the market rate then NHS nurses will go elsewhere. |  | |  |

Where do they go? There are 320,000+ registered nurses in the NHS. They would need to take up new careers, their chances of finding jobs outside the nhs are slim. Private companies would pay even less id wager. |  |
