"So every パーセント of a 支払う／賃金 増加する takes money away."
'BLEAK FUTURE'
The NHS, a source of pride for most Britons, is under extreme 圧力 with millions of 患者s on waiting 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s for 操作／手術s and thousands each month failing to receive 誘発する 緊急 care.
The RCN says a １０年間 of poor 支払う／賃金 has 与える／捧げるd to tens of thousands of nurses leaving the profession - 25,000 over just the last year - with the 厳しい staffing 不足s 衝撃ing 患者 care.
"We've got to look at the 未来, and that's what this is all about ... it looks like a very 荒涼とした 未来," said nurse Rebecca Cosgrave, also at the demonstration St. Thomas' Hospital.
"A lot of people have left the profession already because they're so disillusioned," she said, while also 述べるing how poor 支払う／賃金 was making it harder to 新採用する more nurses.
The RCN 最初 asked for a 支払う／賃金 rise of 5% above インフレーション and has since said it could 会合，会う the 政府 "half way", but both 味方するs have failed to reach 協定 にもかかわらず weeks of 会談.
一方／合間, t housands of 救急車 労働者s 代表するd by the GMB and 部隊 貿易（する） unions are 始める，決める to strike on Monday in their own 支払う／賃金 論争. Both unions have 発表するd several more days of 産業の 活動／戦闘.
Not all 救急車 労働者s will strike at once and 緊急 calls will be …に出席するd to.
