Solidarity with nurses forced by this Government to take strike action today for fair pay.
Don't believe the lie that a proper pay rise isn't affordable.
The Tories recently handed the richest 1% a £1 BILLION tax cut. That should have gone to funding a proper nurses' pay rise.
Outside the High Court nurses members are protesting the government's decision to bring legal action against the RCN.
What do you think of the legal action?
Today, the government is dragging us to court to cut the #RCNStrike short.
We are clear: silencing nursing is silencing the public.
Share this to stand in solidarity with your nursing profession and NHS.
