Re: Junior Doctors Prepare For First Full Walk-Out

Quote:
Strike leaders now fear thousands of the medics will cross picket lines as they do not support the action.
Only 4.3 per cent of junior doctors supported the current round of strikes

The walkout, due to start next week, will cause 500,000 operations to be cancelled and four million appointments lost, hospitals association NHS Providers has said.

And sources have described the strikes as a step too far that will put patients’ lives at risk.
Sources have said this round of strikes could put patients lives at risk

Some 37,770 of England’s 55,000 junior doctors are members of the British Medical Association, giving them a vote on industrial action.

But just 20 per cent (7,540) returned an August ballot on the fresh strikes set to begin on September 12.

And only 31.5 per cent (2,375) of those who did vote backed the full five-day walkouts.

This is looking more like a political strike by militants to try to get at the government.

It'll all end in tears as the miners found out.
