Brits back nursing strikes as walkout branded a ‘badge of shame’ for the Prime
Minister
Nurses tomorrow begin their first-ever strike with most of the public supporting them, a poll
shows. Fed-up staff, who were described as heroes by the Government during the Covid-19
pandemic, are now protesting at the Prime Minister’s refusal even to discuss their pay.
Pat Cullen, the General Secretary of their union, the Royal College of Nursing, said nurses
protesting outside hospitals was ‘a sign of failure on the part of government’ as patients face
cancelled operations and delayed treatments. But she insisted the strike was as much about
saving the National Health Service (NHS) from the Conservative government’s policies as it
was about pay.
(Other public sector workers were either striking or considering strike action in the same
month, December 2022. These included: Border Force workers, ambulance drivers and
teachers.)
(a) Apart from those mentioned in Source 1, state three other ways that public sector trade unions
can influence government decision-making.
