Health Secretary Steve Barclay said he was ‘regretfully’ applying to the High Court to declare industrial action planned for May 2 unlawful.
“I firmly support the right to take industrial action within the law – but the Government cannot stand by and let a plainly unlawful strike action go ahead nor ignore the request of NHS Employers.In an email to RCN members working for the NHS in England, RCN general secretary Pat Cullen vowed to “stand up” to Government “bullies” in court.
“Before the end of the week, the court will decide whether to support this Government’s use of draconian anti-trade union legislation. Ms Cullen has urged ministers to “calm this down” and resume negotiations after an RCN ballot rejected a 5% pay offer.
