A pay dispute between the National Health Service (NHS) and the British government has been settled. According to a media report from London, the government has offered a 5 percent increase in the salaries of more than 10 lakh workers.
According to media reports, NHS unions have backed accepting the government’s offer. Ambulance workers, nurses, physios and porters will also receive an extra £1,655.
According to media reports, the deal was reached in negotiations between government officials and representatives of 14 unions.
The Royal College of Nursing and two other unions have threatened further strikes, media reports said.
According to media reports, the RCN’s six-month strike mandate expired on Monday. According to the media report, balloting will have to be done again for further strikes.
