Pretty much all NHS staff that want to strike for their PERSONAL wellfare will be very conflicted. They will have either been told, throught or both that If they strike people will suffer.
The newspapers will publish some obscene death toll predictions to show them in bad light. Instead of using this to guilt trip people into working high stress/skilled job for bad pay why don’t we use it to recognise how integral their role is to society.
Govt/papers are doing the same to RMT now not a lesser extent. ‘RMT is ruining Christmas’ – no, your inability to value crucial roles is ruining Christmas’.
If you work for a company that makes millions or billions in profit and doesn’t up pay significantly that is the issue. Don’t blame people holding the broom
The whole public sector is on its knees with how much they are getting paid and also rising cost of living. Both things which were brought by the current government. Yet we will have idiots and newspapers to blame the workers and not those who put the country in this state in first place…
Guess I’ll have to reschedule my medical emergencies then
Honestly I really think it’ll hardly be noticeable. Panic attacks, nausea, d&v and a lot more all come in as emergency calls. Very few calls come in as a non-blue light response. I can’t remember the last time I had a non-blue light response (probably over a year ago?). And those calls that are non-blue light response will be covered by those staff who aren’t striking and by private ambulance services who have 999 contracts, (we use more private ambulance services than I think most of the public realise). If anything I suspect the strikes within the ambulance service will be hardly noticed, and for that reason will fail.
But we banged our pots and pans for them only a few years previously, how dare they?????
>The coordinated walkout by the three main ambulance unions – Unison, GMB and Unite – will affect non-life threatening calls only.
Who the fuck is ringing ambulances for anything but? Either this should just be something they do anyway or this strike day will be as busy as any normal day
how much will change, they spend hours queuing at local hospitals anyways.
This is 100% on the Tories, and my NHS has my full support in terms of a strike.
Given the cold weather on the way this is rather stupid. People will die.
Selfish picks….
I stood on my door step every night for a fkin week clapping for them, and they’re striking??????
