Nurses stage largest ever strike in UK for higher pay.

Nurses in England have gone on a 28-hour strike, affecting some critical services, in an ongoing dispute with the government over pay and conditions. The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) rejected a 5 percent government pay increase offer earlier this month. The strike is the first time areas such as intensive care, chemotherapy, and dialysis have been hit. The government has described the RCN's decision to go ahead with the walkout as "hugely disappointing" despite "the government's fair and reasonable offer on pay".
