A strike by hospital workers in Swindon has galvanised the GMB union and the Goan community in the town to challenge bullying and harassment at the privately-run NHS Great Western Hospital.

The employers, Carillion, continue to dispute the workers’ allegations. The workers plan further strike action to ensure they recognise the issue. Report by UnionNews.
