Strike by Junior Doctors – Tuesday 12th
January 2016
The Southend
TUC has pledged our full support for the industrial action being taken by
Junior Doctors, to oppose the government’s attempt to impose an unsafe new
contract on the medical profession.
We attended their picket line at Southend Hospital on this morning.
Southend TUC
President Rachel Heemskerk said
This government
is wilfully putting patients' safety at risk, the tolerability of the working
lives of NHS workers and the very viability of the NHS as a publicly-funded,
publicly-provided service.
Ian Pope,
Southend TUC Secretary added
The proposed
doctor’s contract is clearly a tool for achieving the destruction of safe terms
and conditions throughout the NHS and throughout the public sector.
