BARNSLEY faces a week of strikes as unions demonstrate against the government's austerity measures.
On Monday Unison and Unite members will be joined by the Royal College of Midwives and the Society of Radiographers to stage a walk out for four hours from 7am.
The health unions are in dispute over the government's refusal to accept a recommended one per cent pay rise for NHS workers.
Picket lines will form at Barnsley, Mount Vernon and Kendray Hospitals and the Keresforth Centre.
Barnsley Trades Council is calling on all trade unionists and supporters of the NHS to visit one of the picket lines before going to work.
Trades Council chair, Dave Gibson, said: "We want to turn the picket lines into mini festivals of resistance to austerity."
On Tuesday local government workers in UNISON and GMB and college lecturers in the University and College Union will strike for the day over pay.

On Wednesday civil servants in the PCS union will strike claiming they have suffered a 20 per cent reduction in their incomes since 2010.
