Workers at York Hospital are set to join together for strikes after nurses rejected the Government’s pay offer.

A&E and intensive care nurses from The Royal College of Nursing will walk out for 48 hours, starting from 8pm on 30th April. The strikes will also hit the bank holiday on Monday 1st May.

The strikes were ignited by a 54% vote to reject the offer of a pay rise of 5% this year and a cash payment for last year.

Nurses felt the offer would not solve the staffing emergency.
