Nurses in Scotland to strike after rejecting pay deal from NHS
You must log in or register to see images


Nurses in Scotland are set to strike after voting down the latest pay offer for NHS workers.

Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland members rejected an average increase of 7.5%. The union said it was planning for industrial action and would announce dates early next year.

Royal College of Midwives (RCM) members also rejected the pay deal.

Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said he was disappointed but would continue negotiations with unions.

In the RCN ballot that closed on Monday, 82% voted against the offer.

Are you saying the media would never lie ? If you could point to an occasion that this practice has taken place then I would be genuinely interested. Until then I’m afraid I’ll take it to be the usual media bollox.

The Times is pretty reliable. If it was not true, surely the RMT would have insisted on an apology and a retraction.
 
"Not aware" is pretty mealy mouthed. Then the questioner seems to answer his own question. Far from conclusive

Oh come on Goldie……just admit to the fact it’s made up bollox, we’d all respect you more for it.
It’s a myth that’s been perpetrated by those who seek to gain from it…..it couldn’t be anymore obvious

It's unproven so far. There are others, like needing a nine man team to go repair something one man could. This is reported in the media anyway. No doubt the RMT will deny it but then they would, wouldn't they?

Come on Goldie….don’t do this mate. Let’s stick to the original myth…..the one that the Union AND the bosses have absolutely no knowledge of…….the one that YOU said if it wasn’t true, then the Union would say as such…..I’ve now proved they have……
So can you not just admit you fell for it and it was obviously made up….again you’d be respected more for just admitting it.
 
What’s that sound I can hear ?

Oh my, it must be Goldie desperately tapping away on his keyboard to try and prove a non existent practice that has been debunked by all concerned but has been told so many times that the gullible believe it to be true……:emoticon-0140-rofl:

Don't give me all the "respect" stuff, Stainsey. I started by saying Spainish practiseS. Plural. You raised the lunchtime issue. The Times makes reference to it, RMT deny it. Jury's out at present.

But as I indicated in my original post, there are other Spanish practices like the 9 men team vor small jobs.

<doh> My respect for you is fading Goldie…….
