Resistance TV | Dr Bob Gill: NHS Nurses and Ambulance Workers Strike in UK Over Pay Issues

Joining Chris Williamson this week is Dr Bob Gill, NHS Doctor & activistProducer, director & co-writer of  @TheGreatNHSHeist Britain faces its largest ever strike by health workers on Monday as tens of thousands of nurses and ambulance workers walk out in an escalating pay dispute which the health minister said would place further strain on the National Health Service (NHS).Nurses and ambulance workers have been striking separately on and off since late last year but Monday's walkout involving both, largely in England, will represent the biggest in the 75-year history of the NHS.England's top doctor, Stephen Powis, said strike action this week, which will also see physiotherapists walk out on Thursday, would most probably be the most disruptive so far.Health workers are demanding a pay rise that reflects the worst inflation in Britain in four decades, while the government says that would be unaffordable and cause more price rises, and in turn, make interest rates and mortgage payments go up.#ResistanceTV #NHS #Strike #DrBobGill #chriswilliamsonResistance TV is a weekly show hosted by Chris Williamson the former Labour MP, Derby Council Leader.Live Wednesday's 7pm and audio Podcast on Friday'sFollowChris Williamson @DerbyChrisWSocialist Labour Party @SocialistLP
