INMO and other trade union members will protest outside hospital at 12.30pm
Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) members are holding a protest at Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore at lunchtime tomorrow, Thursday, October 10.
They will protest alongside colleagues in Fórsa and SIPTU trade unions, to protest the implementation of the HSE’s recent Pay and Numbers Strategy.
NMO General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha will attend the protest along with INMO members working at the hospital.
The protest is being held in relation to the recruitment caps that are laid out in this strategy, and which the unions state are preventing healthcare facilities from recruiting staff to fill vacant posts.
The protest is scheduled to take place at 12.30pm.
