Nursing staff set to strike on January 18 and 19 in fresh pay dispute action

Nurses in England will go on strike on January 18 and 19 unless negotiations are opened in an escalation of the ongoing pay dispute with the Government, it was announced today.

In a statement announcing the new planned industrial action, the Royal College of Nursing said: "Ministers have the power to stop strikes but have failed to open negotiations on NHS pay. Now, more hospitals in England will see strike action. These will take place on 18 and 19 January - with further dates to be confirmed in the new year."

According to a list published by the RCN, nurses at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust; The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust will go on strike. No other trusts in Greater Manchester are listed.
