Rishi Sunak has been warned by the nurses’ union to agree a new pay deal or risk another six months of strike action that could damage his hopes of winning a fifth term for the Conservatives 🔴 janemerrick23 and eleanormia report
The latest nurses’ strike, which for the first time will hit A&E, intensive care and cancer wards, begins at 8pm on Sunday.
Unlike the previous strike mandate, the new ballot will be aggregated, meaning all RCN votes in all regions of England will be added together and further strikes allowed if the national vote exceeds 50 per cent. Two unions, the Royal College of Nursing and Unite, have voted against the pay offer, which is a 6 per cent one-off payment for the last financial year and a 5 per cent pay rise for this year.
A number of ambulance workers from the Unite union will go on strike in a handful of trusts in England on Monday and Tuesday. In response to comments from NHS bosses that the union was putting patients at risk, Ms Cullen said: “For those other 364 days of the year, speak up for their nursing staff – tell what the risk is that they are carrying every single day… step back and think why have nurses taken this action after 106 years? Because of the risk that they are carrying every single day on behalf of their patients.
