On Monday 24 November, from 7am to 11am, members of the RCM – employed in the NHS in England – will take part in strike action. Further action will then be taken from Tuesday 25 November to Friday 28 November. This will include RCM members taking the breaks they are entitled to and only working overtime if it is agreed that they will be paid.
In September, the RCM took part in its first industrial action in its 133-year history, after employers refused to agree to a 1% pay rise for NHS staff across the board.
Cathy Warwick, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives, said: "Our members have suffered three years of pay restraint and face the prospect that their pay in 2016 will only be 1% higher than it was in 2010.
"The recommendations from all public sector pay review bodies have been followed except those for health workers. This is not acceptable. There is still time to come back to the negotiating table and to take a more reasonable position on the PRB recommendation.
"Last time the RCM worked very hard to meet with employers to discuss our action and to ensure that mothers and babies were not put at any risk; we will do exactly the same for the action in November. I want to reassure women expecting a baby that midwives will continue to look after them and that they will be safe."
