result in reduced pay Leicester hospitals. Management in Leicester hospitals have followed up their discussion paper on measures to take against strikers (see last week's SO) with threatening letters to all staff.

The letters warn that work to rule action is regarded as breach of contract and will packets. But whether management will carry out their threat is yet to be proved.

Meanwhile all is set for a strong response to the May 19 one-day strike, with a coach bringing strikers from the outlying Carlton Hayes hospital into a rally where they will join strikers from other strikes planned at the John Radcliffe, Churchill, Nuffield, and Slade hospital. ASTMS and NALGO too have recommended their members to take strike action, and the Regional computer unit will be closed down. as a step forward, workers in the hospitals know that a good deal more than a one-off 24 hour strike with a few more 2 hour stoppages will be needed to win the 12%.

shown through she balat shown througt on the offer that they are more than willing to fight the pathetic 4%.

All-out strike action, with emergency cover under workers' control, is the way to win. instead of attacking women for not coming along to branch meetings . understand their problems in doing so and make every effort to assist them in getting there by having meetings in worktime, by helping pay for babysitters or organising transport and by keeping in touch with them regularly, ensuring they know what's going on in their union. A leadership that will give women encouragement and confidence in taking on the employers and fighting the government with clear plans for what can be and needs to be done.
