Nurses in Scotland could be set to go on strike for the first time ever after rejecting the 'best and final' offer from the Scottish Government.
Nurses in Scotland have overwhelmingly rejected the latest pay offer from the Scottish Government, in a move that could see members of the Royal College of Nursing take strike action for the first time ever.
"Years of being undervalued and understaffed have left us feeling we have been left with no option because enough is enough.The Scottish Government had offered workers in the NHS a pay rise that would have seen staff receive an average increase of 7.5% - with the lowest paid staff to get a rise of 11.3%.
The Royal College of Midwives also announced its members had rejected the offer, with almost two-thirds having voted against the deal which it claimed would see many midwives "actually worse off in real terms".
