Watch: Nurses protest in Leeds as Government urged to end pay cap

Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) campaigned outside Leeds Art Gallery in a bid to build up public support for their ongoing battle.

They handed out postcards to passers-by and urged them to write to their MPS about increasing pay.

The event was part of a “summer of protest” planned by the RCN across England to give the Government a final chance to remove the cap before a ballot for industrial action is issued.

The RCN has calculated that its members in the region have lost out on £91m since the 2010 General Election.
