Dudley UNISON NHS Strike

The strike cuts to the heart of Labour’s plans for the Health Service. Everyone can now see the risks of past and present privatisations for the railways, tube, and air traffic control. But the Government is quietly pursuing an equally dangerous project in the NHS, through the Private Finance Initiative. Dudley are fighting a PFI scheme to transfer 600 workers to the private sector, disrupting the teamwork which links porters and domestics to nurses and surgeons while losing 170 jobs and 70 beds. Government Health Minister John Denham backs the deal.
