Royal College of Nursing is balloting members about industrial action over pay and staff shortages
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is balloting 300,000 of its members about strike action over pay and staff shortages. The ballot, which is the first in the union’s 106-year history, is in protest at the government’s decision in July to award most NHS staff a 5% pay rise. The RCN is campaigning for a rise of 5% above inflation, which is currently 10.1%.
Five nurses share their views on potential strike action.
