NHS staff strike in support of 'whistleblower' - The Guardian 5th December 2007

Thousands of NHS staff are expected to take part in protests today in support of a nurse who was sacked after speaking out against privatisation of services. Health union Unison said it expected workers to join a day of action wearing gags to symbolise the plight of psychiatric nurse Karen Reissmann. An indefinite strike is already underway by 160 of her colleagues. Reissman was dismissed last month after being found guilty of gross misconduct by Manchester mental health and social care trust for giving an interview to a local magazine. In it she expressed concern at moves to privatise NHS services.
