Northern Ireland nurses will vote to strike

Northern Ireland nurses will vote to strike.

The rest of the UK has also made a similar transformation.

The decision was made at an emergency meeting on Wednesday evening, according to the RCN (Royal College of Nursing), which said “the battle for fair wages continues”.

This means nurses from Northern Ireland will participate in a national vote that will ask change agenda subscribers if they want to strike.

Work requires a complete break from work.

In 2019, nurses from Northern Ireland organized the first national nurses’ strike.

However, if RCN members support the measure, it would be the first time that workers in England, Wales and Scotland have struck against their union.

According to RCN NI Director Fiona Devlin, “It was not an easy decision.”

“The battle for fair wages has continued despite years of low wages and understaffing,” Devlin said.

The future of the pay awards for Northern Ireland nurses is unknown.

However, we are well aware that the salary premium for our British and Welsh colleagues does not help deal with the rising cost of living and will not help us recruit or hire more nursing staff.

“It is truly amazing that three years after we first started unionizing in RCN history, we are asking our members to strike again,” said Rita Devlin, RCN Director Northern Ireland.

While nurses in Scotland had already rejected the salary offer, members in England and Wales received wage premiums that were below inflation.

A statement states that governments across the UK have not taken any action on the issue and that nurses in Northern Ireland have yet to receive a salary offer.
