Nurses and midwives 'more than likely' to ballot for strike

Siptu nurses and midwives are “more than likely” to ballot for strike action over recruitment and retention of staff, writes Conall Ó Fátharta, Irish Examiner Reporter.

The threat comes just a day after the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) gave health service managers given 24 hours to improve proposals on staff recruitment and retention — or face the likelihood of being served notice of industrial action as early as today.
