The nurses union announced a three day national withdrawal of labour for the middle of April 2026. The stated demands were a cost of living adjustment, an end to salary deductions nobody had explained, the issuing of payslips, updated allowances, affordable accommodation and transport, and relief from staff shortages. This announcement sat between the March ultimatum and the stoppage later in April, so it shows a dispute building rather than a single event. Every one of these stoppages lands on patients in public hospitals first.

The union did not publish the number of nurses taking part, so no count is recorded.

A three day national withdrawal of labour announced for fifteen to seventeen April 2026, ahead of the later stoppage of twenty to twenty two April.

Workers collectively withdraw labour, work to rule or take other protest action, or a formal notice of such action is served.

Evidence required: A named union or worker group, the dates of the action or the notice, and the stated demands, from the union itself or an established publication.
