The strike is due to go ahead on Wednesday.

THE HSE TODAY released guidelines and information on which health services will and will not be in operation if next week’s planned nurses’ strike goes ahead. 

Nurses and midwives will strike for a full day on Wednesday in protest against pay and what they call a recruitment and retention issue in the sector.

As a result of the strike, a significant number of services will not be in operation on Wednesday.

Today, we want to know: Do you support the nurses’ strike?

    Last weekend was the first weekend since protests began in June that no teargas/rubber bullets were fired. The election provided the government with a clear message that most people support more democracy in HK and want an independent enquiry into the police handling of the protests (2 of the 5 demands). The gov is again dithering and giving off soundbites about dialogue without making any concrete proposals and not addressing the real issues while Beijing is claiming outside influences forced 70% of eligible voters to turn up and return pro-democracy majorities in 17 of 18 districts as if HK people were that easily led! The current peace is a great relief for HK but it’s unlikely to last with the gov still keeping their heads firmly in the sand. People will not give up that easily.

    Hong Kong might turn into the latest Xinjiang ‘re-education camp’ if those protestors don’t start talking to the authorities; those ‘boyos’ in Beijing, in the words of Gill Scott Heron, ‘don’t take no mess’.

    She has the neck of a giraffe not to have resigned yet.

    @Seriously stunned: She’s tried to tender her resignation, but mainland China won’t accept it.

    @Seriously stunned: She’s meant to be Premier of HK for life. That’s why people demanding for change as they’re all lapdogs of mainland China.
