🔴 Oliver Dowden promises pay rise at a later date if nurses call off Christmas strikes
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster urged striking workers – which includes nurses, paramedics and rail staff – to “please give families a break this Christmas”.
He added that it was “not fair” that the armed forces are being brought in to cover for striking workers. “It is of course the case that under different political persuasions, governments have used the Army in extremis,” he said. The union has asked for a pay rise of 19 per cent but said this was a “starting point” and has urged the Government to open pay negotiations.
