I'm organising a screening of Pride in April and I'm starting to think this will be a good theme for a Q&A afterwards - how we should all be supporting each others' fights, not just tackling our own disputes. For example, I'm going to look into how my union can support the junior doctors.As ever an attack on one is an attack on all, sadly this truth and it's consequences are apparently meaningless to many in this country these days.
Your saying it certainly says it all. I think you'll find the politics of envy train vis a vis junior doctors left the station a long time ago. Nobody seriously thinks they're greedy overpaid fat cats largeing it up at the taxpayer's expense - that notion only exists in the rather half-arsed (and half-hearted) propaganda exuding from the Department of Health.As so often happens, the wrong people are on strike here.
In Americas 'fight for $15' is taking place. Home care workers, child care workers, supermarket and fast food workers are on strike.
In Britain 'junior' doctors- who already earn more than most people can ever dream of earning, and will earn even more in years to come are on strike.
Says it all IMHO.
What do you mean?Never mind trickle down. Let's have some trickle up for a change!

Showed this to a colleague who chuckled and said "let's get Hunt sacked". Sadly, I'm not sure that would stop anything

Cameron seems to use him to do the shitty jobs, he knows that just about everyone thinks Hunt's slime already so Hunt can be as unpopular as he needs.They'd throw anyone under the bus if political expediency required it. But Hunt is only doing his job, if they moved him elsewhere they'd only put someone else in to do the same thing.
Not heard anything from any other union yet except the update I just received from Unite re the situation.
Junior doctor contract imposition ‘nuclear option’, says Unite

Unless... if public opinion was so against it would the government throw Hunt under the bus as they u-turned?
Now you mention it, it does have a bit of a feeling about itThis generation of Tories seem to think that this is their miners strike, they won't back down and can't afford to be seen to.
eta, hope I am wrong about this.
