We understand that you're concerned about nurses' pay and their ability to take strike action, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like to happen
You might like to sign and share this petition instead:
Award all Nursing Staff in the NHS a pay rise of 10% backdated to 1 April 2020
You could also start a new petition asking to change the law so that individuals can take strike action, without the agreement of a union or a vote, and be protected from negative consequences, if that's what you'd like to happen.
