Good luck, stay safe and warm to all of our brave #RCN members taking strike action tomorrow.
None of them want to be doing this. The government have given them no choice.. they are striking for pay, for patient safety and for the future of the #NHS.
I'll be on the digital picket line helping to bring you all the updates via #RCN social media accounts.

Just weeks ago the Prime Minister promised his Government would be “honest” with the public. It’s since lied about everything from nurses pay to Brexit. If this compilation doesn’t shock you to the core nothing will. The question now is what is UK media going to do about it?
Workers in the UK are experiencing the longest pay squeeze in more than 200 years. They are earning on average £900 less a year in real terms than they were before the 2008 financial crisis, and the Resolution Foundation has forecast average wages are not set to return to 2008 levels until 2027.

The cost of meeting nurses’ demand for an inflation-busting pay rise: £1.6 billion.
The cost of Rishi Sunak’s bank tax giveaways: £7.3 billion.
If we can afford handouts for the rich, we can afford to meet the basic needs of those who keep this country afloat.

PM Rishi Sunak has snubbed an offer from #RMT boss Mick Lynch to meet up to solve the rail dispute.
And instead the PM upped the bitter war of words against the union as his aides accused RMT of “holding Christmas hostage with more damaging strikes.” #unions #Union #SupportTheStrikes 💪

December of discontent: will strikers or government and management take the blame?
The Christmas calendar is packed with disruptive industrial action and public anger could deepen Rishi Sunak’s woes. #NHS #teachers #unions #tradeunions #strikes #WinterofDiscontent
