Strike Funds

[YouSir]

Useful general thread for listing donation links I suppose but specifically does anyone know if there are strike funds established for nurses? Believe they're balloting soon and want to do a fundraiser thing. Maybe a bit pre-emptive.

Uh, unfortunately I think nurses are split between a lot of different unions, so it would depend on what one? You've got Unison:

Nursing family | Representing you | UNISON National

UNISON represents the whole nursing family, including nurses, midwives, health visitors and healthcare assistants.

www.unison.org.uk

Unite:

Best Union for NHS Health Sector - Unite The Union

…

www.unitetheunion.org

GMB:

We're campaigning for pay justice in our NHS

And RCN:

RCN - Home | Royal College of Nursing

The RCN is the world's largest nursing union and professional body. We represent nursing and offer a range of services and support to our members.

www.rcn.org.uk

Maybe others, not sure. May as well also plug Health Workers United, which is not an official union and so won't be taking strike action but aims to try and coordinate workers across union boundaries:

Health Workers United

For working class independent action

So if you wanted to do a fundraiser, maybe pick one of the above, or maybe wait and see how the ballot goes and donate to whatever union seems to be most successful/active?

Food and Solidarity in the West of Newcastle (NE4) are prioritising solidarity parcels for striking union members.

(Wasn't sure where to put this. Happy to move if it if there's somewhere more appropriate.)

NHS staff in UNISON are about to start balloting:

I think if anyone can spare the time to leaflet hospitals and so in your local area, your local branch might well appreciate the help.
