NSW Doctors' Protest Walkout Wave

The article reports on a strike by junior doctors in New South Wales, Australia, protesting against the Minns Labor government's policies. The Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation (ASMOF), the union representing the doctors, is portrayed as attempting to limit the scope and impact of the strike. The article alleges that ASMOF is actively working to isolate the striking doctors from broader solidarity with other public sector health workers. The author criticizes ASMOF's leadership for advocating for "compromise" negotiations with the government rather than pursuing a more confrontational strategy. The article suggests that ASMOF's approach is aimed at preventing a unified movement of healthcare workers against the government's policies, thereby weakening the doctors' position and protecting the interests of the union bureaucracy. The author implies that ASMOF is prioritizing its relationship with the government over the needs and demands of its members. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/10/bbfb-a10.html
