BREAKING: 100,000 PCS members to strike

The PCS national executive committee has agreed to call a one-day strike on 1 February of all members in employers where the turnout passed the 50% threshold required by law for action in our ballot last year.

As long as I can remember I`ve never seen such a pan-UK campaign to protect workers jobs, pay and conditions.
Its not just the big unions and issues though: In Northern Ireland, Housing Workers have just voted 99.5% (!!!) in favour of strike action.

Madrid Family Doctors & Pediatricians Resume Indefinite Strike​

Pending a new negotiation round with Madrid Community Health Counselor, these health workers suspended the strike a month ago.
On Thursday, Madrid family doctors and pediatricians resumed the strike initiated in November 2022 due to the failure of negotiations seeking to improve their salaries and relieve the workload of physicians covering the afternoon shifts, to which more patients come.
Pending a new negotiation round with Madrid Community Health Counselor, these health workers suspended the strike a month ago. The parts, however, reached no agreement at the new meeting, which ended on Wednesday after two and a half hours of negotiations.
"The meeting went badly. It is the seventh one we have held since we started the strike, and no one who could make decisions involving expenditure increase participated,” Madrid Association of Physicians and Higher Graduates (AMYTS) spokesperson Angela Hernandez complained.
In Madrid, healthcare providers treat about 70 patients daily, despite international organizations recommending that each doctor treat 20 or 25 people a day. As a result, over 92 percent of family doctors in this territory suffer emotional exhaustion.

In other Spanish cities, emergency hospitals are likely to collapse soon due to the resurgence of respiratory infections after the end-of-year holidays. Despite this, the Madrid Community alleges that the doctors are raising politically-motivated demands.
“Our strike committee will assign 6 out of 12 seats to family doctors and pediatricians from other medical organizations to demonstrate that the problems we pose affect the entire medical community,” AMYTS announced.
“Although the strike we called for is indefinite, it will not entail a total suspension of health services since at least one doctor and one pediatrician will remain in the health centers to care for the population during it,” it added.

At some point when so many people have been taking it up the ar*e for so long, they're going to collectively ask why they should put up with it.

This bunch of charlatan politicians deserve to spend at least the next couple of decades out of power.

RMT Press Office:

Train driver RMT members at 14 rail operators will take strike action on February 1 and 3 over jobs pay and conditions.

The decision to strike on February 1 coincides with a TUC day of action where several unions are coordinating their strikes during the cost-of-living crisis.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our negotiations will continue with the rail operators to create a package on jobs, conditions and pay that can be offered to our members."
