Petition Pensions for nurses Who have worked forty years and are over sixty

Nurses over sixty are struggling to work in physically exhausting jobs.
We nursed in the seventies lifting heavy patients without hoists.
We used the Austrailian lift where we literally lifted the patient on our backs.
Long term hard physical and emotional nursing takes its toll.

More details

Most of my friends are nurses, none of them have been able to keep going.
Let us have our state pension that we worked so hard for.
I didn't expect to be in this position after forty five years of hard physical work I need dignity in retirement.
