UKRNs What do you’all think about the upcoming strike?

For those who don’t know about the strike…

RCN and Unison Nurses will be going on an *Industrial strike*

Using the *Working rule* This means doing no more than the minimum required by the T & Cs of your contract
Will this really work? Considering the fact that employers can replace staff with Agency staff?? Who will be glad

Now, MPs are already planning to approve replacing staff shortage with Agency/ bank staff

RCN has also stated they will be paying RCN members at least £50 per day?
For unpaid hours by the employers???

Your employers also have the right to hold pay for hours you don’t work… pension might also be affected?

How long do you think this approach will last? Will this strike really work?
I am definitely voting for a strike..

However, I’m really concerned this approach is weak and insufficient.

IMO.

This might sound untrue,, but some people actually pay to join someone who already has a visa and migrate as a “Dependent”

Some agencies also attach someone to your application as a Dependent without you knowing, until you get called by Home Office…
Someone left this comment on my IG post : Nigerians are unbelievable🤦🏼 Image
One of the implications of this illegalities is what we’re beginning to see! We all really need to do better!

I’m a big fan of Kunle Afolayan’s movie! But I think he dropped the bar with Anikulapo!

*For me* Anikulapo was basic. Every single scene was so d*amn predictable. The only exciting thing was the sets! which is not exactly far from the regular.

And oh! The Nude scene…
was the final nail in the coffin! Completely irrelevant.

I mean,,, it’s probably necessary in some movies,,, but in this one???? It was not needed!

It’s high time we stopped trying to fit in! & preserve our identity! Our Culture & Tradition is sexy! My goodness! 🤦🏼
Once again, I fell for Twitter hype! And I feel robbed of 2hrs and something minutes of my LIFE!!! I need a refund! 🥵

I still do not understand how
@NHSuk can afford to pay Agency staff this much! But Staff can’t even get double their own pay! even with bank shifts! Whereas, the skill mix is always lacking! Main employee always end up doing over 80% of the Job!
Lots of unfinished work!

‘Cos Some agency staff are not competent enough to do the job they getting extra pay for. And don’t preach to me about they not getting “Sick pay, pension etc”

They get paid pension by their agency if they opt in.
Please if you ever find yourself in this situation, report to your line manager. & simply do your own job and document as necessary.

Team work is great, but some people are just lazy and want others to serve them. Which ain’t right.

The Healthcare system in UK gets me pissed sometimes!! If you’re not literally dying!!! You will be placed on a long as*s queue! I don’t understand the Triage sometimes! You really don’t want to be sick here! especially if you don’t have family! So better rest.
The burden on the NHS is too heavy! Seems healthcare integration ain’t working so well either… because everyone just wants to come to tertiary hospitals!

If you need faster response for minor cases, please ring /visit your GP! They’re there to also relieve the NHS hospitals
#NHS from the little experience I had working in the A&E there are patients occupying bays that don’t even need to be there, while those who really need it be literally crying for help 🤦🏻‍♀️… ngl, I get confused by the whole system sometimes. It really does favors the Older pts
