Labour needs 'to step up to the plate' as Doctors vote for strike action - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

"The result of today's ballot makes it clear that the government will now need to step up to the plate. "Doctors have [today] spoken clearly: they won't accept that they face a career of insecurity at a time when the demand for doctors is huge. Yet successive governments have been unable to embrace the changes both doctors and patients are crying out for. "We do not want to have to strike, but we will if we are left with no choice. The government has the power to end both of these disputes now: it must use this opportunity to make the changes that are desperately needed."
