Wales nurses strike off after pay offer but walkouts in rest of UK to go ahead

The Royal College of Nursing has cancelled planned strikes in Wales for Monday and Tuesday after receiving a new pay offer from the Welsh government - but walkouts will still go ahead in London and other parts of the UK. In a statement released on Friday, the RCN in Wales confirmed that it would pause industrial action as it considers an offer from the Welsh Government to increase the pay award already made for 2022/23 by 3 per cent. The proposal follows negotiations this week between the RCN and other health trade unions and the Welsh government. A strike by physiotherapists in Wales on Tuesday has also been called off. RCN Wales Director, Helen Whyley, said: “Our strike action in December has clearly been effective as the Welsh government has listened to the issues facing nursing in Wales and put forward an increased offer for nurses pay back dated to April 2022 and thus avoided the strikes planned for next week.” Separately, the GMB union in Wales has also called off industrial action following a pay offer. But the RCN confirmed that strikes in England on Monday and Tuesday would still go ahead as the Government had not opened negotiations on pay. Industrial action will affect 73 trusts across England - including seven in London - and will coincide with strikes by ambulance workers. RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Pat Cullen said: “If the other governments can negotiate and find more money for this year, the Prime Minister can do the same. Rishi Sunak has no place left to hide. His unwillingness to help nursing is being exposed as a personal choice, not an economic necessity.” GMB official Nathan Holman said: "After intense negotiations, GMB has agreed to suspend strike action while further talks take place. "We recognise that the Welsh government and Welsh Ambulance have made concessions and, through social partnership, we appreciate the frank and open dialogue with them over the last few months. "This has only been made possible because the Welsh government has been prepared to talk about pay - a lesson for those in charge on the other side of the Severn Bridge. "We are a member-led union, ultimately they will decide." Unison's head of health Sara Gorton said: "This ramps up the pressure on the Prime Minister significantly. Political leaders in Scotland and now in Wales are making the Westminster Government look decidedly mean and totally out of touch. "Rishi Sunak says he'd love to give health workers a pay rise yet claims he can't. But he can and he should. If he doesn't, NHS strikes will continue across England for months. "Staff and patients in England deserve much better treatment from a Prime Minister who insists the NHS is one of his top priorities.” Read More Wave of strikes has cost London economy £120m - with more industrial action to come Petition calling for fair pay for nursing staff signed by 100,000 people February 2023 strikes: Who is striking this week?

Chelsea confirm Champions League squad as Graham Potter forced to make big omissions following transfer frenzy

Chelsea confirm Enzo Fernandez, Mykhalio Mudryk and Joao Felix in their Champions League squad but Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been left out in their place. UEFA rules state only three new players can be registered for the knockout matches, forcing Chelsea to leave three of their £300million January signings out of their list. Graham Potter has opted to register his two marquee signings, who cost £107m and £88.5m apiece, and loanee Felix, who has significant experience in the competition. Aubameyang was left out despite the option to insead omit youngster Carney Chukwuemeka or third choice goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli. He won’t be available as the side travel to Germany to face Dortmund in just over a week. In-form defender Benoit Badiashile has also been left out after joining from Monaco for £35m at the start of the transfer window. Also not selected is winger Noni Madueke who was signed from PSV for £29m, striker David Datro Fofana who was signed from Molde for £10m and midfielder Andrey Santos who was signed for £16m from Vasco da Gama. Having registered a 24-man squad for the group stage, the Blues had one spot free on List A but had another extra one after selling Jorginho to Arsenal for £12m on deadline day. Aubameyang and the new signings have all had the decision explained to them by Potter ahead of the announcement this morning. Potter said: “We’re aware of who we need to speak to. They’re tough decisions, that’s for sure. And each player brings something but we had to decide on the overall make-up of the group, overall make-up of the squad and, yeah, look at it in that way. “There’s no other way to articulate it, to be honest.” Chelsea are allowed to register an unlimited amount of players on List B but they need to be Under-21 and have been at the club for at least two years. They have added Lewis Hall — who is increasingly considered a first team player. Long-term injured Armando Broja was unable to be removed to create space due to his presence on List B and remains in the squad. Chelsea have registered all their Premier League due to less stringent rules in the English top flight.
