Nurses in the UK said they’ll strike on two days next month in an historic sign of defiance amid a dispute over pay.

The Royal College of Nursing announced Friday that walkouts would take place in England, Wales and Northern Ireland on Dec. 15 and 20, the first time that they have staged nationwide industrial action. Strike plans are currently paused in Scotland.
