NURSE PAY DISPUTE CONTINUES

A meeting between Pulse Health and nurses at Forster Private Hospital today over a pay dispute has failed to reach a resolution.

Last Thursday more than 20 nurses walked off the job, claiming they’re being paid up to $5 an hour less than their public sector counterparts.

The New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association believes it’s costing the nurses around $10,000 a year.

Today, Pulse Health refused to increase its initial offer of a three-point two five and three per cent rise over the next two years.

Further industrial action is being planned for next Friday.
