Unison NHS workers vote for Government's pay deal

The Royal College of Nursing announced that its members will walk out from 8pm on 30 April to 8pm on 2 May, affecting the bank holiday weekend.

RCN general secretary Pat Cullen wrote to Health Secretary Steve Barclay to inform him of the fresh strike action before the end of the month, and seek urgent re-opening of talks with the Government. The Royal College of Nursing announced that its members will walk out for 48 hours from 8pm on April 30, without any derogations.The letter to Mr Barclay said: "What has been offered to date is simply not enough. The Government needs to increase what has already been offered and we will be highly critical of any move to reduce it.

"Following constructive discussions, all parties agreed this was a fair and generous offer which is demonstrated by Unison, representing the largest share of the NHS workforce, choosing to accept it," a spokesperson said.
