Eldorado Posted February 20 #1 Share Posted February 20 Junior doctors in England have voted in favour of taking strike action in their fight to get a pay rise of 26%. Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) are now expected to take part in a 72-hour walkout, possibly as early as mid-March. The union said the rise being asked for was to make up for pay cuts since 2008 once inflation is taken into account. But experts said if a different measure of inflation is used, the fall in pay for junior doctor roles is lower. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64653488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted March 24 Author #2 Share Posted March 24 Junior doctors are to stage a four-day walkout in April in their fight to get a 35% pay rise in England. Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) will take strike action from 11 April to 15 April. It comes after BMA leaders met Health Secretary Steve Barclay on Wednesday. Mr Barclay has said the pay claim is "unaffordable". A deal offered to other NHS staff and backed by unions involves a 5% pay rise in April and a one-off payment of at least £1,655. This is on top of the 4.75% pay rise they received last year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65052816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotoutthere Posted March 24 #3 Share Posted March 24 Does this mean that whereas before, you couldn't get a doctors appointment for 4weeks, now you can't get a doctors appointment for 5 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
