Once enough of the public has had enough and turn against them the government offer will change. To 2%. They can’t strike forever. Remember they plead that they can’t pay the rent or heat the house and get food on the wages they have so doing all that on zero isn’t going to last long…unless of course the underlying messaging is false.
Which nurses is that? I believe the offer is 4.75%. Civil Servants probably half of that. Rolls Royce pay deal? Stagecoach and Metroline bus drivers? Probably plenty I'd suggest.
