HUNDREDS of thousands of health workers took to the streets and the picket lines this week.

The three day industrial action was the latest step in the campaign of health workers to fight for a 12 per cent pay increase and help save the NHS. The response of the hospital workers was magnificent in the face of the TUC sell out of ASLEF and a barrage of attacks from the media. And despite threats of disciplinary action to civil servants and other workers, the health workers were joined by thousands of other trade unionists. The train drivers know from bitter experience that they needed the full weight of the labour movement to win their fight. Hospital workers are now in the front line. They must not fight alone.
