INMO Warns Industrial Action Will Happen Unless "Radical Change" Is Made
The INMO is warning it's likely to give the go ahead for industrial action unless there's a 'radical change' in the management approach to staffing.
Talks at the Workplace Relations Commission adjourned without agreement last night, and the group is accusing health service management of having no funded workforce plan to address the issue.
The INMO says its Executive Council will meet on Monday next week to consider the situation, and the union says it must not be forgotten that 90% of its members recently voted in favour of taking industrial action over staffing, if necessary.
RedFM News recently spoke to Mary Rose Carroll of Cork branch of the INMO who expressed her fears that CAO applications would be impacted by the current difficulties being experience by nurses in hospitals including overcrowding and lack of financial incentives.
She says many nurses aren't even staying in the profession anymore so attracting school leavers would be an even greater challenge:
