UK: Unionized junior doctors employed by National Health Service striking across Wales March 25-29
Unionized National Health Service junior doctors striking in Wales, UK, March 25-29. Medical service disruptions, protests possible.
Unionized junior doctors employed by the National Health Service (NHS) plan to strike in Wales from 07:00 March 25-07:00 March 29. The purpose of the action is to demand increased salaries in line with inflation. The planned action is the third such labor action in recent months; a three-day work stoppage in February resulted in 30% of appointments and operations being postponed.
The labor action may cause delays at health facilities across Wales. Participating workers may engage in picketing or other forms of protest activity near hospitals and clinics; authorities may deploy increased security near any such gatherings that materialize.
Reconfirm medical appointments scheduled March 25-29. Plan accordingly for extended wait times if seeking medical treatment during the strike. As a precaution, avoid any protests that materialize. Heed instructions from authorities.
