@NurseStandard Why not get the Private Sector to pay for the privilege of having a highly skilled nurse on there team. No money no nurse… Simple. NHS must value there workforce

BREAKING 🚨 | The Biden administration have condemned the UK government's anti-strike laws.

US labour secretary Marty Walsh said "I would not support anything that would take away from workers".

[RCN Highland Branch @RCNSHighland]

@NisbetJemma @theRCN @RCNGtrGlasgow No @RCNScot has not given up. With a strong strike mandate it has forced the hand of Scot Gov to get back round the negotiating table.

[RCN Scotland @RCNScot]

We are preparing for Scotland's first round of strike action.

Sticking together will be our greatest strength. Be part of it. #FairPayForNursing #RCNStrike
