UK junior doctors have launched a 5-day strike after failed pay talks with the government, demanding fair wages amidst a 20% real-term pay cut since 2008. 🏥⚕️ #UK #JuniorDoctors #Strike #Healthcare #KokchaNews
When doctors were pale, male, and stale, nobody had a problem with them being some of the highest-paid in society.
Could it be that some people (Tories) just cannot stand brown or female people being paid more than themselves, regardless of the doctor's worth to society?

👩🏾⚕️🪧 98% of junior doctors vote for strike action over a 4% pay offer, after a 25%+ real-terms pay cut since 2008❗
🩺 NHS faces disruption as talks falter❗
🤷🏻♀️ What’s your take—fair pay or service first❓
I missed the memo when #juniorDoctors became #residentDoctors, but I feel it doesn't add clarity to the differences between medical personnel. My first suspicion was that the renaming was punishment for last year's strikes, but apparently not. https://www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/junior-doctors-are-changing-their-title-to-resident-doctors #NHS #healthService #UKpolitics #BMA

Says the admin in the cushy day job. I see no mentioned in the article they were fired.

I just signed the petition "Calling all medical schools to sign the NHS Sexual Safety Charter" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.
Our goal is to reach 7,500 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:
Thanks!

In 2014, Hunt rejected the independent Pay Review Body that suggested a *mere* 1% increase in doctors' and dentists' salaries.
Slowly, slowly, in real terms, the wages of these people began to fall back, precipitating the 17 months of industrial action.

Wes Streeting seeks to end UK junior doctors strike as #Labour declares war on #NHS - World Socialist Web Site
#JuniorDoctors [in #England] confident further #strikes can be avoided after meeting #Streeting
#BMA figures say they are hopeful #NHSEngland pay row can be resolved after talks with #HealthSecretary

I sat through #WesSteeeting talk bollocks so you don't have to.
He's not gonna give the pay rises #JuniorDoctors are asking for.
So he's going to "reset the relationship" but is unwilling to reset the pay... I guess he will throw some peanuts at them, and I suppose the #union will reject it and he'll be in a pickle...
There's no point. Brits can get visas in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand: countries where they actually pay nurses and doctors.
‘‘We feel dispirited’: striking #JuniorDoctors worn down but determined to fight on
Five-day strike is the 11th action in their long-running pay [& conditions] dispute'
'It’s a sunny day; there’s cheerful, enthusiastic chanting and lots of support from drivers who honk their horns, but it is abundantly clear that only Betty, a laid-back 11-year-old jackapoo, is anywhere approaching happy to be here.'

For the first time, I find myself critical of the Junior Doctors. There is no way that the Government can make any commitments before the election, nor should they. What will the strike achieve apart from disruption?

On 10 March 2016 junior doctors from the Bristol Royal Infirmary went on strike in protest against proposed changes to their employment contract.

Oppose #BMA’s planned sellout of UK junior doctors’ fight: For a joint struggle across the #NHS - World Socialist Web Site
@CarolineLucas The junior (so-called) doctors may lose support. We'llc ertainly lose the junior doctors if the government (so-called) doesn't take the rational decision and settle the strikes with a fair payment. Once the junior doctors have gone, we'll be paying a whole lot more to the private sector. Mostly for private profit, not health care. That's the plan.

Here's a maths question for you...
Spend 2 billion on restoring wages for junior doctors - money which will be taxed and then poured back into the economy.
OR...
Spend 8 billion on scrapping an inheritance tax that will only benefit people who are already vomitously wealthy and none of which will be put back into the economy as it will be hoarded in offshore tax havens.
