RCN general secretary Pat Cullen hit out at Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay
The Government has issued a “blatant threat” by taking legal action over a planned 48-hour strike by nurses in the long-running dispute over pay, a union leader has said. Royal College of Nursing members working in the NHS in England at workplaces with a strike mandate are preparing to take industrial action from 8pm or the start of the night shift on April 30 until 8pm or the start of the night shift on May 2.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Ms Cullen said: “We have managed six months of industrial action and we have done that in the most safe and effective way. We will certainly not put our members at risk, we certainly won’t put our patients at risk. Mr Barclay had said: “Following a request from NHS Employers I have regretfully provided notice of my intent to pursue legal action to ask the courts to declare the Royal College of Nursing’s upcoming strike action planned for April 30 to May 2 to be unlawful. The Government firmly believes in the right to strike but it is vital that any industrial action is lawful and I have no choice but to take action.
