Rejected petition Pay rise for nurses in line with all other public sector workers

To give all nurses a pay rise in line with the pay rises offered to other public sector workers. For the government to recognise the work of nurses during this pandemic. A clap once a week is not enough!

More details

Throughout this pandemic, nurses have been fighting to save the lives of others which has often resulted in them losing their own lives. Nurses have sacrificed time with their children and families moving away to fight on the front line. They have stood up a fought when the rest of the world stood still. To deprive them of a pay rise after this is disgusting. All other public sector jobs will receive pay rises yet nurses have been left off that list. This is an insult to the profession.
