Following a greatly improved offer, strike action this weekend by workers employed by Wilson James, which operates the passenger assistance programme at the airport, has been suspended to allow members to vote on the new offer. The union claims Co-op bosses have failed to make an acceptable offer to resolve the dispute, while the company insists its offer is fair and needs to be proportionate to those made to the group's overall workforce of 60,000. The current offer will not solve the huge issues surrounding understaffing that are destroying the NHS and Unite’s members have their union’s absolute backing in fighting against it. The last time junior doctors went on strike was in 2016, over a new contract that had been introduced. The talks come after the RCN rejected the latest pay deal and previously went on strike for two days.

During the 2016 strike, consultants stepped in but this meant a huge amount of pre-planned treatments such as knee and hip replacements had to be cancelled. Military staff covering for striking personnel at passport control do not have power to detain suspects of criminal activity.

Additionally, there will be an overtime ban beginning on 28 October and taking place every Monday and Wednesday, with two additional days of Sunday 5 and Tuesday 7 November. The NHS says that CSWs on a low pay band* like those at WUTH should only be undertaking personal care like supporting patients with going to the toilet, bathing and feeding. They will also be commencing urgent discussions with the national leadership about the possibility of certain HMRC and VOA areas taking part in prolonged targeted action, supported by strike pay.

There will also be included of course all the other Doctor Who characters including the ‘Daleks,’ ‘Cybermen’ and ‘The Master’.
