The Royal College of Nursing balloted its members after the previous six-month mandate for strike action had expired
Strike action by nurses in one of the largest nursing unions will end after a ballot of its members in England failed to achieve a mandate.
In the ballot, more than 100,000 RCN members voted in favour of strike action – around 84 per cent of the total number of people who voted. The RCN said approximately 140,000 ballot papers needed to be returned in the post to meet the threshold and only 122,000 were received by the closing date of Friday June 23.The RCN balloted its members after the previous six-month mandate for strike action had expired.
“While this will be disappointing for many of you, the fight for the fair pay and safe staffing that our profession, our patients, and our NHS deserves, is far from over.” Members of Unison - the biggest NHS union - and those belonging to the bodies representing physios and midwives also backed the deal, which has now started to be paid. It means only Unite in England has a mandate for strike action - and that is only for local strikes among some ambulance staff and support workers.
