Radiograhers Latest NHS Staff To Strike
The latest walkout by NHS staff involves radiographers striking in a dispute over pay.
Members of the Society of Radiographers began a work stoppage at 9am on Monday, which will run until 13:00, and will also follow a work-to-rule policy for the remainder of the week.
The strike is the latest in an ongoing series of industrial action by various NHS staff over a pay freeze, and the government's refusal to introduce a 1% pay rise for all NHS staff.
