NHS trade unions representing staff on Agenda for Change pay scale have suspended strike action.
The catalyst for these negotiations was the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) entering into negotiations.
Feeling left out, other unions including Unite eventually agreed to suspend strike action as well so they could all enter talks.
RCN and BMA are the only unions involved in NHS industrial action not affiliated to the TUC.
RCN are reaping the rewards for having the best ballot result across Agenda for Change unions and it may reject the government’s offer anyway.
Other unions being dissatisfied with this turn of events doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable.
But there is no point in criticising the RCN, and so far other unions have refrained from publicly doing so.
