Midwives walk out over pay dispute
ANGRY midwives have walked out of the Fryatt Hospital over a pay dispute.
NHS workers want a one per cent pay rise for all employees, but the Government says it will cost too much during the time of austerity.
Royal College of Midwives union members formed a picket line outside the hospital in Main Road on Monday for the strike.
They joined thousands of union members from across the country for a second day of industrial action, following a strike on October 13.
