PHARMACY ON THE PICKET LINE

摘要

For four hours on the morning of 13 October 2014, healthcare staff in England, including pharmacists, went on strike. Members of the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists (GHP), part of Unite the Union, joined the industrial action. They were striking over a pay dispute for the first time in nearly 30 years; a 1% pay rise for all NHS staff was recommended by the NHS Pay Review Body (an advisory non departmental public body) but rejected by the UK government earlier in 2014.
