UNISON members working in the NHS in England will stage a four-hour stoppage between 7am and 11am on Monday 13 October for the first in 32 years.
This will be followed by four days of action short of strike action between Tuesday 14 and Friday 17 October when members will ensure they take their breaks.
A strong 68% voted yes to industrial action and 88% to action short of strike action.
UNISON members including nurses, paramedics, therapists, cooks, cleaners, healthcare assistants and admin staff will be joining picket lines outside hospitals from 7am.
Dave Prentis, UNISON General Secretary said:
“Our NHS members don’t take action often or lightly. For many, it will be the first time they walk out as the last action over pay was 32 years ago.
“But what NHS workers also don’t do is walkout on patients. Safety is paramount and we have been working with employers to ensure urgent patient care is not compromised. Patient safety is paramount and life and limb cover will be provided.
“I reiterate my offer to Jeremy Hunt to reconsider his pay policy and negotiate with trade unions to avoid more industrial action as we get closer to the Winter pressures.”
Picket lines will be placed on workplaces from 7am.
UNISON is the biggest health union in the UK, representing 300,000 health workers in England.
