THE
JUNIOR DOCTORS’ DISPUTE
"Stand with the Junior Doctors and show them our
support.. This is our NHS and we will fund it for each other. We will resist
the drive to a reduced and underfunded service, and any further drive to
privatisation"
Romayne Phoenix, Green Party Trade Union
Liaison Officer
On Tuesday 1st December Junior Doctors across the UK will commence
industrial action against the Governments continued threat of imposition of an
unsafe new Contract. This is the last resort in an attempt to prevent the
Imposition of a contract that would endanger, patient care and the NHS
for a generation.
Junior Doctors and the BMA (British Medical Association), have not done this lightly. Doctors have balloted on this action and gained a 98% vote for strike action. This shows how seriously they take the provision of a proper health service. They are united in the hope that this action will protect the NHS for future generations.
The Junior Doctors’ aim is to picket all major hospitals in England on all three days of proposed action: Tuesday 12 January,Tuesday 26 January, &; Wednesday 10 February. Pickets will be near the main entrances and will start at 8am, continuing until at least 12.30pm, many pickets will continue in the evening, Along with the pickets there will be parallel “Meet The Doctors” events at these tube stations as well as nearby public spaces.
