According to reports this morning members at INMO are to ballot for strike action in the coming weeks ahead in a dispute over recruitment and retention.
The prospect of strike action comes after the INMO recently submitted a proposal on how to address the recruitment and retention of staff in the health sector.
Speaking about the possibilty of strike acton Siptu’s Paul Bell said: “Following a meeting with our National Nursing and Midwifery Committee we are committed to entering a dialogue with our membership concerning the lack of progress made with management in addressing staffing levels, recruitment and retention.”
“This has resulted in a situation where our members are more than likely to decide to ballot for strike action in an attempt to force a solution to this dispute.”
The latest ballot for industrial action comes less than two months after union members voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action.
