barleycorn Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Why not? What's stopping you? Time and resources would be a major stumbling block for starters. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Only 62% voted to strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe-b-1 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Only 62% voted to strike. Which is a higher percentage than voted for any of the parties at the last election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not really connected though are they? Only a third of NHS staff are in a union and of that third just over half voted to strike. Hardly damning figures on a subject more important than politics - someone's pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Which is a higher percentage than voted for any of the parties at the last election. It's not quite the same... a strike vote is "yes" or "no" so only 2 choices..an election can have any number of candidates...If Alchresearch's figures are correct that means that around 15% of NHS workers voted to strike....

Hardly damning figures on a subject more important than politics - someone's pay. I can imagine it's quite difficult for someone in the NHS to commit to striking. Especially those that are providing direct care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe-b-1 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ok point taken. Still 24% more than the ones who didn't vote to strike (which may contain abstensions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Only 62% voted to strike.That's because as you would expect most nurses will be against strike action as they were during the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Shouldn't make much difference at Jessops where you're lucky to get a midwife on a normal day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Shouldn't make much difference at Jessops where you're lucky to get a midwife on a normal day. I agree, they are in serious need of more Midwives. ---------- Post added 13-10-2014 at 15:11 ---------- That's because as you would expect most nurses will be against strike action as they were during the 80s. RCN isn't on strike, so most nurses would be at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
