Nurses took to the picket line in Shrewsbury in support of their strike for more pay and relief from crippling workloads.
Members of the Royal College of Nursing including district nurses, and mental health staff held placards and wore bibs outside the offices on Shropshire Community Heath Trust in Mytton Oak Road.
Members voted to take strike action at ShropCom and at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital near Oswestry. The strike does not include RCN members at the acute hospitals at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals NHS Trust. "For me it is about recruitment and retention, to attract people to the profession and to get them to stay.She added that she found it really sad that there would have been more people on the picket line but"they cannot afford to take one day without pay."
"Nurses do not want to strike but we feel so passionate about the situation," she said."We are torn about striking. All our patients are safe but nurses do struggle with the idea of striking but we deserve it. We do not want to have to do this but we have got to make a stand sometime."
