Two years ago when the coronavirus sent people into intensive care, nurses were often the only thing between life and death. Now the pandemic may be ending, but the plight of these essential men and women isn't. Today in parts of the UK, nurses staged an unprecedented strike. It's the first time the Royal College of Nurses trade union has called a strike in its 106 year history.
Up to 100,000 nurses walked off the job on Thursday. They say this is a last resort in their fight for better wages and working conditions. Union leaders say nurses are overworked due to short staffing. That's exacerbated by a backlog of appoinments and treatment made worse by the coronavirus pandemic.
