    Balloting on industrial action would demonstrate power of the profession.

    Nursing standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)·2015

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing professional advocacy and industrial action.

    Background:

    • The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is planning a consultation to assess nurses' opinions on industrial action balloting.
    • There is a perceived need for a definitive vote rather than a preliminary consultation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a consultative approach versus a direct balloting method for gauging member sentiment on industrial action.
    • To explore strategies for maximizing member engagement and motivation in professional advocacy efforts.

    Main Methods:

    • The study critiques the RCN's planned consultation as insufficient.
    • It advocates for a direct, "real vote" to ascertain member willingness for industrial action.
    • The current approach is described as delaying decisive action.

    Main Results:

    • A consultative vote is unlikely to generate significant media interest or member enthusiasm.
    • A low turnout is anticipated for the consultation, potentially leading to inaction.
    • The current strategy may be perceived as ineffective, potentially benefiting political figures like Jeremy Hunt.

    Conclusions:

    • A direct ballot is essential for meaningful engagement and decisive action regarding industrial disputes.
    • The RCN's current consultative approach risks demotivating members and delaying necessary progress.
    • Urgent, decisive action is required to address nurses' concerns effectively.
