Abstract
Entrenched social and economic inequities combined with spiralling inflation have led to a growing number of health worker strikes. The bases of conflict, as yet unresolved, challenge the caste-like structure of health systems. By highlighting the need for change, health worker strikes may foster an internal dynamism and the more democratic organization of working conditions in health services.Keywords
