Public sector workers will from today join striking medics as their leaders protest against what they call the emasculation of trade unions by the government.

The decision to call for demonstrations that will be happening every Tuesday has been informed by the recent arm-twisting by the government that has seen doctors' 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) being disregarded.
