Strike action planned by the nurses' union on 2 May has been deemed unlawful, the High Court has ruled.
The Royal College of Nursing announced strike action between 8pm on 30 April and 8pm on 2 May over pay and conditions.
But Mr Barclay claimed the final day of the strike was due to fall outside the union's six-month mandate for industrial action. RCN members rejected a deal earlier this month which would have seen them given a one-off payment of 2% of their salary, plus a COVID recovery bonus of 4% for the current financial year and 5% for the year after.
