The state’s health system will be brought to a standstill for the second time this month after nurses voted to return to the picket line for 24 hours.
Thousands of nurses and midwives across NSW will return to the picket line next week, bringing the state’s health system to a 24-hour standstill for a second time in their bitter pay dispute with the state government.
Health Minister Ryan Park said on Friday the government would agree to the backpay deal on the condition the union accept the commission’s recommendation and call off the strike. NSWNMA general secretary Shaye Candish said the union would take the commission’s recommendation to a statewide delegates’ meeting on Tuesday afternoon, but the strike would go ahead regardless.
Candish said the only concessions the government had made in four months of negotiations were agreements to install notice boards in tearooms and ban nurses working night shifts before going on annual leave.
