GOVERNMENT SHOWS NURSES WHO THE RULES ARE FOR !
Yes it was predicted even here on this blog. This morning the Finnish government passed the first reading of the so called "Patients Safety Bill" which roughly translated means the Anti-Collectives Bill and the you will do as you are told Bill.
Nurses have seen that the political and business elite can quickly make a bill preventing any kind of collective protest.
The second reading is on Friday.

Last count was a clear majority of Finns in support of nurses but the clear majority of right wing Blairites in government show their teeth. If this really goes through a sea change situation will be upon Finland. It may soon be that 20.000 nurses will protest ( Finland is a small country of 5 million people so 20.000 is very many).
Will the more industrial trades unions show support?

Have I ever been down this road before?

When we had strike of firemen they did make similar law.

Now when nurses has been interviewed they say that after that kind of actions they will leave whole system.

Firemen didn´t say or did that. I wonder if nurses are going to stand behind their words so strongly?

Loved the conflation between Merkins and under-achievers.
I'll have you know I am a well 'under achiever' and proud of it.
