RCN hopes campaign bus visit will raise profile of pay dispute

Nurses asking for 15% pay rise

The Royal College of Nursing hopes bringing a campaign bus to the Isle of Man will help raise the profile of the current pay dispute.

Nurses have asked for a 15% pay rise, but have been offered 10% plus a further consolidated 2%.

The campaign bus will visit the Island next Wednesday (16 August)

The RCN's also arranged a Q&A session for its members with the Health Minister, Manx Care CEO and Finance Director.

Senior Regional Officer for the Royal College of Nursing Mary Ann Parkinson says the bus will help reach its members, as well as politicians and the public around the Island:
