England’s biggest nursing union has called in the police to investigate some of its own members, as the internal fight over whether to accept the government’s pay deal turns bitter.
The Royal College of Nursing has asked the police to investigate a petition to hold a vote of no-confidence in its leadership, while reporting the behaviour of other members to social media platforms and the nursing regulator. Meanwhile Vote Reject campaigners claim they are being bullied and intimidated by union management in an attempt to win what is likely to be a knife-edge vote.
