title: Less whingeing on pay or we alienate the public.
abstract: I am fed up with hearing nurses whingeing about an above-inflation pay rise of 3.6 per cent. The vast majority of the public do not get yearly pay rises. If nurses really want wages that are comparable with other public sector employees they should ensure that their unions agree a pay structure with the government through Agenda for Change.
