Nurses to consider strike action in fight for better pay and conditions

HEALTH service management have been warned that nurses will consider all options, including industrial action, in their campaign for better pay and conditions.

Both the Irish Nurses’ Organisation (INO) and the Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) met yesterday to discuss the Labour Court’s rejection of its demands.

The court stated that the nurses’ claims could only be addressed through the public service benchmarking process that both organisations have previously pulled out of.
