The walk out by nurses comes as strikes cripple Britain’s rail network and postal service, airports brace for disruption and junior doctors, midwives and teachers prepare to ballot
British nurses will go on strike this week, hitting already stretched hospitals and cranking up pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to quell the biggest wave of industrial action to hit the country in decades.
But the government has so far refused to budge on pay and is instead looking to tighten laws to stop some strikes, meaning there is no end in sight for what has been dubbed a new “winter of discontent” in reference to the industrial battles that gripped Britain in 1978-79. “There’s the potential for them to stretch out and dig themselves in and then that could really be something that we haven’t seen for quite a long time,” she said.
The government will hope that the forecast for inflation to start to fall from the middle of 2023 will help. Sunak wants to extend laws to maintain some services in transport and could ban strikes in some other sectors. The army will be drafted in to drive ambulances and man airport passport desks during strikes.
