Yorkshire nurses strike over pay row
Nurses in West Yorkshire have described being "torn" as they joined the first ever strike in a dispute over pay.
On the picket line in Leeds, nurse Lizzie Cafferky said: "We can't sustain how we're working at the moment."Ms Cafferky added: "I've cried and beaten myself up on whether striking is the right decision. I've been absolutely torn. But we've reached the point where something has to change. Strikers outside Leeds General Infirmary cheered as drivers in passing vehicles honked their horns in support, including ambulances arriving at the A&E with their blue lights flashing.
There is a sense of anger, frustration and sadness among many on the picket line. They say they don't want to be on strike but feel forced to take action over pay and patient safety.
