The Royal College of Nursing has called for “detailed negotiations” in the next five days.
In the letter, she added: “It is with regret that I write to say that unless our next meeting is formal pay negotiations, beginning within the next five days, we will be announcing the dates and locations of our December strike action.”The RCN is calling for a pay rise of 5% above inflation, saying that despite a pay rise earlier this year, experienced nurses were worse off by 20% due to successive below-inflation awards since 2010.
“You have again asked to meet in the coming days and for this third occasion I must be clearer in my expectation. “It is now more than a week since we announced our ballot outcome and your department has dedicated more time to publicly criticising our members’ expectations than finding common ground and a satisfactory conclusion.“I also point out that this stands in contrast to the approach taken by governments and executives in other parts of the United Kingdom.”
