Nurses are still earning less in real terms than in 2010

As strikes approach, nurses’ pay is 2 per cent less than it was 12 years ago after accounting for inflation.

New Statesman

Many nurses simply cannot afford to eat - or feed their families - on the wages they receive

What else can they do but strike?

You can’t eat claps
