A poll has shown that people support those who work in care jobs, or even as part of a nurse agency when it comes to taking action. If you are going through a nursing recruitment agency or if you are seeking carers support right now then this is something that you need to try and be aware of if possible. Nurses have shown that they need to get a substantial pay rise or they will not be able to do the work that they do, reliably.  Market research has been carried out and it has found that up to 42% of people who responded are actually quite likely or very likely to support nurses who do wish to take some kind of industrial action regarding their current level of pay. The figure has risen quite a lot to 50% since but the RCN believes that this is because of the below-inflation pay rise. The government have since awarded a 2-3% pay rise for the nurses who put in the work but the RCN do not believe that this is enough. The poll has shown that four out of five people, or 85% of people, support the pay rise for nurses and that two thirds of them are in favour of nurses getting a pay rise that is 5% or higher. The RCN have warned that staff in the UK cannot continue to sit around for the new announcement and that this is currently three months beyond the start of the financial year for 2022. The union has renewed all of their demands and they are now calling for the pay award to go ahead way before the government has their summer recess which is very interesting to say the least. Who knows what the future holds but right now, nurses need to be shown more support.
