Nurses in Scotland reject latest pay offer from NHS
Julie Lamberth, RCN Scotland board chair, said members had "forcefully rejected what the Scottish government said is its 'best and final' offer".
Annual salary rises under the proposal would range from a flat rate payment of £2,205 for staff in Bands 1 to 4 and up to £2,660 for staff in Bands 5 to 7, backdated to April. Unite and Unison chose to accept the deal, however, the GMB union became the first to reject it last week.Jaki Lambert, RCM director for Scotland, said: "Our members have spoken loud and clear - the latest pay offer by the Scottish government is simply not good enough. It goes nowhere near addressing the rising cost of living and would see many midwives actually worse off in real terms.
"No midwife wants to do this and it is for the Scottish government to make sure that they do not feel that they are left with no other option.
