As reported in last month’s newsletter, an ongoing wage conflict was halted by political players who ordered all striking nurses back to work and forced the conflict into arbitration. After the Icelandic Association of Nurses (FÍH) and the State mediator signed an agreement as an outcome of that arbitration process, nurses’ resignations started flowing in. As the resignations have topped 300, the health ministry says it is considering recruiting nurses from abroad. In the meantime, the members of the nurses association have rejected a wage agreement that was finally made on 23 June between representatives of the association and the state negotiator after almost thirteen hours of negotiations with 1677 votes against 219.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F07\u002F16\u002Fhealth-minister-looking-into-hiring-foreign-nurses\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fgrapevine.is\u002Fnews\u002F2015\u002F07\u002F16\u002Fhealth-minister-looking-into-hiring-foreign … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Ficelandmonitor.mbl.is\u002Fnews\u002Fpolitics_and_society\u002F2015\u002F07\u002F15\u002Fnurses_reject_wage_agreement\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Ficelandmonitor.mbl.is\u002Fnews\u002Fpolitics_and_society\u002F2015\u002F07\u002F15\u002Fnurses_reject … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
