The Isle of Man nursing strikes have now been paused as a new deal if being offered. If you work with a nurse agency, then you will know what an impact this has had on carers as well as those who currently work in care jobs. If you work with a nursing recruitment agency, then you will know what a huge deal this is. Two days of strikes have been scheduled and the end result is to try and get a better pay deal. The offer will mean something a little different to voting members as a lot of it comes down to their pay and the banding circumstances that are present. At the end of the day, Manx Care have come out to tell the Nursing Times that they could not enhance the offer anymore as they have already given a 6% wage rise for that year. A spokesperson has come out to say that they are exhausted from having to find funding for their pay offers and that they are putting in a lot of work to try and make things suitable as they are. The offer was originally called an insult and the union members rejected it almost instantly. Strikes were held during September and July but at the end of the day, more walkouts were said to happen around October. Only time will tell what the future holds with this but right now it seems that more has to be done to make sure that nurses are given the help and support that they need. If you want to find out more about this then make sure that you follow the government updates and that you also make sure that you take note of the latest advancements regarding the matter.
