Nurses making history with industrial action vote #bbcnolan

Nurses in Northern Ireland are to vote on potential industrial action amid an on-going pay dispute with Stormont. The Royal College of Nursing has said the ballot of its members represented an "unprecedented move". Nurses will be asked to vote on action that stops short of an outright strike - rather a work-to-rule form of protest, with steps such as a refusal to work unpaid hours. The RCN has accused Stormont's Health Department of failing to make a pay award for 2015/16.
