The RCN says Scottish nurses will strike if they vote to reject the latest offer from the government.
The RCN has been demanding a pay rise of 5% above inflation, which is currently at 11.1%
The offer would mean a pay rise of 11.3% for the lowest paid and an average rise of 7.5%, the government said when it outlined the proposal last week.It will now ask its members whether to accept the deal.According to the Scottish government, the deal would see NHS workers in Scotland remain the best paid in the UK, with workers getting flat rate pay rises ranging from £2,205 to £2,751, depending on what band they are in.
Julie Lamberth, the chairwoman of the RCN Scotland board, said the Scottish government had "repeatedly failing to recognise the clinical skill, expertise and leadership of registered nurses".
