FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Victorian government has until 5pm (AEDT) on Thursday to agree to the nurses’ union demand to let an independent umpire take charge of their dispute or they will start rolling stoppages.
A meeting of 2000 nurses on Wednesday decided that private arbitration, which would involve a Fair Work Australia deputy president, was the only way to bring the long-running dispute to a resolution.
If the state government does not agree to the talks, nurses will start up to four-hour stoppages in three hospitals on Friday morning.
ANF Victorian secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick said three more hospitals would be added to the stopwork action each day the government shuns talks assisted by the industrial umpire.
Health Minister David Davis said he was happy the nurses did not go through with their threat to resign en masse but said rolling stoppages would put patients at risk.
“The precise nature of their industrial action remains to be seen and we would hope they will take no steps to put patients at risk,” Mr Davis said.
He said the government would consider any serious proposal to bring the dispute to an end “but it is difficult to see a negotiated settlement as long as the ANF continues with threats to patient safety”.
