The first strike by NHS staff over pay in more than 30 years - and the first by members of the Royal College of Midwives in its history - will hopefully force ministers to rethink their decision to freeze pay rates for 1.3 million health service staff. Those taking part in Monday's four-hour stoppage and this week's 'work-to-rule' deserve great credit for making a sacrifice so that everyone in the NHS may benefit.
英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)工作人员30多年来首次因薪资问题举行罢工,也是皇家助产士学院成员有史以来的首次罢工,有望迫使部长们重新考虑他们冻结130万医疗服务人员薪资率的决定。那些参加周一四小时罢工以及本周“照章工作”的人做出了牺牲,以使NHS的每个人都能受益,他们值得高度赞扬。
