Unite the union announced that their 4,000 members across health trusts here are to take to the picket lines again later this month and on dates in February
Health and social care staff in Northern Ireland are set to strike later this month in pursuit of a cost of living pay increase.
In December, Unite members voted with an average 87% majority across all five health trusts and the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service for strike action.The announcement comes as talks as discussion with the UK health secretary failed to make any progress on the 2022/23 pay claim. "In the absence of a functioning Stormont Executive, prime minister Rishi Sunak needs to show some leadership, bang some heads together, make sure that we can get back to negotiations and offer NHS workers in Northern Ireland a better deal.”
Subsequent strike dates which Unite has notified to employers are February 16 and 17, and February 23 and 24.
