Ballot on nurses pay to close at lunchtime

RCN asking members whether they'd support strike action

We'll find out later whether nurses on the Isle of Man have voted in support of strike action after rejecting a pay offer from Manx Care.

A ballot of Royal College of Nursing members on the Island closes at midday.

Manx Care had offered a four percent pay uplift for 2024-25, but the union was concerned the offer wouldn't be backdated for those who've already left Manx Care since the start of the financial year.

If workers vote in favour of a walkout in this indicative ballot, a statutory vote on industrial action would follow ahead of any strike action taking place.
