The Policy & Resources Committee, which is mandated to act as employer by the States of Guernsey, has now received formal notification of the rejection of their offer by the Royal College of Nursing.
This now means of the four unions representing this group of staff under Agenda for Change terms and conditions, two have accepted and two have rejected this offer.
As a result the Committee has offered to meet again with representatives of all four unions in a further attempt to progress pay negotiations and is asking for assistance from the Industrial Disputes Officer in bringing conciliation between parties. The Committee hopes this will help to find a way through to an agreement soon. We understand the RCN is considering this proposal and we look forward to hearing from them.
