UK Nurses Continue to Strike Despite Some Ending Walkouts.
TL;DR Summary
A British nursing union has rejected a pay offer from the government, with members set to walk out again later this month. However, another major health union voted to accept the deal. A wave of strikes has disrupted Britons’ lives for months, as workers demand pay raises to keep pace with soaring inflation. Unions say wages, especially in the public sector, have fallen in real terms over the past decade, and a cost-of-living crisis fueled by sharply rising food and energy prices has left many struggling to pay their bills.
