Tens of thousands of nurses in England will strike in February for the third time in as many months, adding further pressure on British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over crippling disruption to key services caused by industrial action.
The Royal College of Nursing said on Monday its members in England and Wales would walk out for 12 hours each on Feb. 6 and 7, if "progress is not made by the end of January" in pay negotiations with the government.
The fresh strikes will follow walkouts by nurses in mid-December — the RCN's first ever national strike — as well as strikes scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday this week. More widely, hundreds of thousands of employees across Britain — from rail workers to postal staff and teachers — have staged strikes since last summer as pay rises fail to keep pace with double-digit inflation.
