NHS nurses could begin working-to-rule

The Royal College of Nursing has stated that nurses could refuse to work one day a week per nurse if they are not given a 3% pay hike.

Nurses work on average nearly a day of unpaid, additional overtime per week, and it is this work which could be refused if their pay demand is not met.

An RCN survey showed that 31% of nurses would work-to-rule.
