Mandates for industrial action work. We need the same to stop the Scot Gov ignoring us.

The senior doctor workforce in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is full of gaps - and patient safety is suffering.

The ballot for industrial action is about making working lives better - and finally getting the Scot Gov back to the table for proper negotiations on reversing this trend.

VOTE YES!
