Mogok Doktor Kontrak: Will It Have An Impact?

We look at the proposed strike by a group of contract doctors. This strike is meant to be happening from today till the 5th of April, and is the latest attempt at demanding better treatment of contract doctors. So first, we look at how the government has responded to their issues and what more needs to be done. Then, we discuss strikes in general, and how effective they are in creating better work conditions.
