Gardengirl Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well, I guess Saturday and Sunday are out; tomorrow?I'd also heard that it could be Monday, even Tuesday before it was all passed, but they're now talking about tonight again with the guillotining..

Rose Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Greyman has just told me the next date could be the 28th October. I have a hospital appointment on that day... the first of my treatment dates... does anyone know if the strikes affect hospitals? [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 They do affect hospitals, but I have never heard of essential things such as emergency or cancer treatment being affected.Phone ahead and ask.

dragonrouge Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Have you noticed how the next two strikes are destined for the end of the following two weeks and which of course are holiday weeks?In this respect and in an attempt to better understand things do the protesters and who are members of the syndacats have to pay 'dues' to the syndacats? Also do they lose 'pay' for the days they do not turn up for work. I wonder how employers legislate and control this by a system of clocking in or what?

Gardengirl Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Brianagain, thanks for the link to those dates; very helpful to know them definitely.Rose, I haven't heard of treatments being affected. Give them a ring if being unsure is going to make you feel even more jittery than you would otherwise. If they're concerned, they'll probably ring you to rearrange dates.

When I had an op' scheduled during a strike a few months ago, it went ahead but other services were cancelled - they seem pretty good at the triage aspect here so I'm sure you don't have anything to worry about (apart from the usual, that is.[:)]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
