IPSS Medical Rescue said an ambulance was surrounded by nurses who attempted to stop the vehicle from entering the hospital. Emergency medical services had reported “serious challenges with moving around and transporting patients to and from healthcare facilities”, it added. Healthcare is classified as an essential service, which means workers are legally prohibited from striking.

And yet nobody has been arrested. It has been reported that 4 people already died due to the strike. Who will be held responsible? The Government does not even pretend to give a damn anymore.

I have sympathy with striking workers, but this crosses the line
