RCN to survey members once again
Nurses on the Isle of Man will be asked to consider a revised pay offer from Manx Care.
The Royal College of Nursing is going to survey its members after being offered a consolidated increase of £1,500, with effect from 1 April 2022, in addition to the six percent increase already implemented.
The survey will take place between 13 and 27 November.
The union was due to take two consecutive days of strike action in October but this was paused due to the ongoing talks with Manx Care.
Estephanie Dunn, Regional Director for RCN in the North West, said the union is pleased to have been invited back to the negotiating table again.
She added: “There is no doubt that our strike action prompted Manx Care to open up talks but other unions joining our fight has also piled on the pressure.
"We stand stronger together.
"However it will be down to our members to decide if the latest offer is proof enough to believe that the Manx government are investing in not only the current nursing workforce but the sustainable future of nursing and safe patient care on the Isle of Man.”
A previous offer which members were surveyed on in October has now been withdrawn.
