It looks as if the Trades Unions are prepared to accept that minority groups like ours may be compromised; on the basis that you can't please everybody all of the time. 80,000 NHS workers was the figure I read in a Union newsletter - that's a minority considering the size of the NHS workforce! Considering our job roles, reading between the lines, anyone with a routine job role, a more technical than scientific bias and limited patient contact will probably come out worst-off than we currently regarding pay. That's what concerns most of us isn't it? Would groups be inclined to take industrial action if it came down to it? and more importantly, in view of the performance so far, would the Unions give support to it?.
