U.K. hospital strike
NZPA-Reuter London The first of two 24-hour stoppages by medical staff, including radiographers, is expected to hit Britain’s hospitals today. The stoppages—the second is expected on Friday, April 18—were announced after an emergency meeting of leaders of the National and Local Government Officers’ Association. ■
Other industrial action includes an immediate over-
time ban on non-clinical duties. The action comes after the Clegg Commission report, which, the union claims, might mean that its members in professions supplementary to medicine would have to work longer hours or take a pay cut. Affected professions include radiographers, physiotherapists, chiropodists, speech and occupational therapists, dietitians, remedial gymnasts, and other supportive staff.
