Healthcare staff who are members of unisontheunion and nipsa are to take industrial action from next week
Healthcare staff who are members of two of Northern Ireland's biggest unions will begin industrial action on 5 December as part of a dispute over pay.
The move by the Unison and Nipsa unions follows an announcement by the Royal College of Nursing that its members will strike on 15 and 20 December. Unison said the cost-of-living crisis was "biting deep" and it was "foolish" to assume workers would "suck it up".Unison members will take action short of strike on 5 December before a one-day strike on 12 December.Patricia McKeown, Unison's Northern Ireland regional secretary, said action short of strike meant health staff would only work the hours they were contracted to do.
"They will stop covering for free all the jobs of the people that are currently missing from the system - they will get on with their job.'Patients still a priority' Health workers in Northern Ireland have yet to receive an increase in pay for the 2022-23 financial year.
