The 'best next step' would be for the Welsh government to continue pay talks, says a union leader.
"Obviously for nurses the best next step is the Welsh government changes its approach to settling our dispute, gets back around the table and starts talking meaningfully about a pay offer.The union Unite has announced that ambulance workers in Wales will strike on 19 and 23 January"Corridor care, that's absolutely normal, with not enough nurses looking after people," she said.
"For years we've just not been investing significantly in the nursing profession. We need to plan for where nurses will go in their careers, not just where they will start." Ambulance workers are also planning further walkouts this month, according to Richard Munn from the Unite union. He said industrial action was "very much a last resort" which was taken following "over a decade of real-terms pay cuts"."Our members need a salary increase. A one-off payment only solves the problem temporarily," he said.She said the one-off pay offer was the "beginning of a discussion".
