UK nurses stage second strike for inflation-busting pay

United Kingdom nurses have staged a second unprecedented strike amid an increasingly acrimonious fight with the government for better wages. Up to 100,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are holding the latest one-day stoppage on Tuesday after walking out last Thursday for the first time in the trade union’s 106-year history.
