UK Braces for Summer of Nursing Strikes Amid Pay Dispute
TL;DR Summary
The Royal College of Nursing's rejection of a pay deal has led to further strikes, with staff being withdrawn from emergency departments for the first time. The government's handling of industrial action has been called into question, and their approach has evolved. The ongoing spat between the government and junior doctors has not helped the atmosphere either. Allowing industrial action to continue makes it harder for the prime minister to achieve his targets, dampening Conservative hopes of some kind of political recovery.
