Nursing union warns that next strike will be twice as big

RCN says if progress not made on pay negotiations, action in February will include all eligible members in England

Double the number of nurses will be asked to strike in early February in a bid to increase pressure on the government, union leaders have warned.

The Royal College of Nursing has said that if progress is not made in negotiations by the end of January, the next set of strikes will include all eligible members in England for the first time.
