Medical scientists are to go on strike later this month in a dispute over long-standing pay and career development issues.

A one-day work stoppage will take place between 8am and 8pm on Wednesday 18 May with further strikes threatened if no progress is made in the dispute.The medical scientists' trade union, the Medical Laboratory Scientists Association , says the notice of industrial action follows an unsuccessful latest round of talks with the government.

The MLSA says no satisfactory outcome has been achieved in recent weeks and the union has today served notice to now proceed with the action. "The MLSA withdrew notice for strike action on March 30th in good faith, yet the employer side has offered nothing to address our issues, causing further anger and frustration among our membership," he added.
