On Monday a group was outside Sir Charles Frossard House, calling for motorists to honk in support.

This follows last week’s push, with members of the Royal College of Nursing standing along the seafront.

Steve Mundy has been spearheading the campaign.

‘We are here today doing this continuing our engagement and presence with the public to help promote our cause,’ he said.

Royal College of Nursing convenor Kenny Lloyd said they were keen to move forward.

‘We still haven’t had any meaningful discussion with Policy & Resources,’ he said.

The change.org petition for Guernsey nurses’ equal pay for work of equal value currently stands at more than 3,000 signatures.

The nurses hope to lead a protest march on 21 September, starting at Salerie Corner at 11.30am. Anyone is welcome to attend.
