Nurses in UK vote to go on strike for first time in pay dispute

Let's hope this can be averted.
Quote:
Nurses have voted to stage strikes across the UK for the first time in their history in pursuit of a better pay deal, in a move that will seriously disrupt NHS care.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) announced on Wednesday that nurses at many, but not all, hospitals and other places of NHS care would take industrial action before Christmas and may continue striking until next May.

The impending strikes are likely to be the first in a potentially prolonged series of actions over the winter and into the spring by different groups of health workers. NHS bosses are bracing themselves for junior doctors, ambulance staff and others also taking action.

It is the first time in the RCN’s 106-year history that it has instigated a statutory ballot of its members across the four home nations about industrial action.

“Anger has become action. Our members are saying enough is enough”, said Pat Cullen, the union’s general secretary and chief executive. “Our members will no longer tolerate a financial knife-edge at home and a raw deal at work.”

Wouldn't be surprised if they introduce a law making it illegal for Nurses to strike ..

It was only a matter of time. I'm surprised it's taken this long. Good luck to them and I hope they get rewarded with a salary that adequately rewards them for the vital work they do.

Not a great move especially if you are struggling to retain them.

There have been murmers amongst the Tories to do this to nurses and others.
