Part of Planned Nurses' Strike in UK Deemed Unlawful by Court

Part of a planned strike by nurses in the UK has been ruled illegal by the High Court
The Royal College of Nursing had planned a 48-hour walkout starting on Sunday
The strike mandate given to the union by members expires at midnight on Monday, according to the ruling
The strike was planned in response to a rejected government offer of a lump sum payment and a 5% raise
Many other professions in the public sector remain locked in pay disputes, leading to months-long waves of strikes
