Forcing these dedicated professionals to work beyond their physical capacity not only puts their health at risk it also increases the risk to safety of the general public. I am urging the Government to see sense and get back to the negotiating table for constructive discussion to resolve this dispute.&rdquo;</i></p> <p>John McDonnell MP</p> Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:27:54 +0000 http://nottingham.tachanka.org/articles/6067 http://nottingham.tachanka.org/articles/6067
