Radiographers on strike at hospital
MORE hospital staff are striking today in Southampton.
Members of the Society of Radiographers are staging a four hour walk out at Southampton General Hospital between 9am and 1pm, their first strike in 30 years.
It is a continuation of national industrial action over the past week which included a four-hour strike by Unison, Unite and GMB members at all Hampshire hospitals.
Unions are staging the action over a pay dispute with the Government with health workers demanding a one per cent pay rise that was recommended to Whitehall by an independent review.
