  1. Disappointed to see no mention of COHSE which was a union specific for health workers in any area of the heath sector whereas NUPE was for anyone working in the public sector

    1. Hi and thanks for your comment — we will be coming back to COHSE (in fact, you’ll probably find material from and about them elsewhere on the website already). We completely agree that it was one of the key actors in the health sector — and as it happens, COHSE and its members also produced and/or starred in some amazing campaigning images. Do tell us more about COHSE: were you a member? An activist? Did any of their campaigns affect you directly or indirectly?
