Nurses in England ready to strike until Christmas – media

Health England is facing one of the most serious crises in its 75-year history.

British nurses are prepared to continue strikes until Christmas if no deal is reached on higher wages. This was announced on Sunday, April 16, in an interview with the BBC by the head of the country’s main nurses’ union, Pat Cullen.

He noted that the next strike is scheduled for 8 pm on April 30. It will last for 48 hours.

The nurses will then vote to extend the strike through the end of the year, Cullen said.

“If the vote is successful, it means continuing the strike until Christmas,” Cullen said.

However, he indicated that the strike could be called off if there was an emergency.

For the first time, National Health Service (NHS) nurses will go on strike in emergency departments, oncology wards and intensive care units.

The authorities are hopeful that nurses in England will accept the offer of a five per cent pay rise and call off the strike. In addition to a five percent pay rise for the next financial year, the offer includes a one-off bonus of at least £1,250 ($1,510) per person. But after the union proposed it to its members, 54% of them rejected it.

RCN members went on strike for the first time in the union’s 108-year history late last year, joining a wave of public and private sector workers demanding higher wages.

Earlier, German transport workers staged a nationwide strike initiated by trade unions.
