Ban healthcare workers from going on strike
We want the Government to ban strikes by healthcare workers. These strikes can put the life, health, and well-being of members of the public at risk. No one should be put in harm’s way due to industrial action. We want a ban on walk outs by healthcare workers.
If the police force are not entitled to strike due to upholding the law and protecting the public then we believe healthcare workers should have the same restrictions imposed. Health services are there to save lives and support individuals’ health and well-being. Far too many people are already waiting too long for treatment or operations. In the meantime, patients may be in pain and suffering. Strikes can only make this worse.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
