If you hadn't had a pay rise that reflected the hours you work and the work you do, wouldn't you go on strike?

So do they, and the Government hasn't been paying them fairly

We're short on so many doctors and nurses because they are better paid in other countries.

Given inflation rates you've been taking a pay cut every year then.

I'm lucky, my workplace appreciate me and regularly review and increase my wage and throw bonuses at me. And I'm just a data gremlin.

Never met a poor doctor yet. Nurses,auxiliaries,domestics, and all other NHS staff yes but never a poor doctor all these other professions are just as vital to patients health and safety but it the doctors on the high salaries who say they are hard done to. Yeh the life of a domestic doing 30+ deep cleans a night all throughout the pandemic for not much more than minimum wage

OP, I'm sure they won't get 35%, but it can't be right that some doctors are effectively paid less than £15ph, can it?

My point is they have chosen to go down the career path, they would know the wage, hours and condition before they started as the NHS has been overstretched for so many years.

You can't start a job then complain when you already knew the facts.

I'm not sure what the answer is bit striking isn't it. If every person who was underpaid and poor working conditions went on strike then the county would grind to a total halt.

People and Culture (HR) manager here, and I’m paid more than most junior doctors.

I may have a difficult job, but when I take my children to hospital, or a family member, I expect them to be being paid more than me! They’re saving lives, literally!

Do you think holding the public to ransom was the first choice?

Hopefully the next time they need more money it's under a government that reacts before it gets to this stage.

So you agree they can strike for improved terms and conditions? Excellent.

I actually suspect it is a surprise to some as you're a 'junior' doctor for quite some time, but I'm no doctor so I don't know. But we can't have it (like certain areas of law) that a career is only viable if you have additional support from elsewhere, like a wealthy family, or we're going to miss out on some very good doctors.

Then employers would soon learn that you can't pay shit wages and maintain a happy workforce.

Don't forget many of these strikes aren't just about pay - they're about conditions. Important too, especially when employers are attempting to change terms of contracts to affect working hours, shift patterns, safety concerns etc.

Maybe everybody should strike. A general strike would send a clear message to the powers that be that just because we left the EU and therefore aren't bound by many of the laws that were put in place to protect employees that they can't just rip them up and pretend they never existed.

Why do you think the government and so many big businesses were keen to push the leave vote?

Most of the recent strikes have been.

The Junior Doctors one is about pay.

The government have said it's unaffordable and would cost £2bn

The same government that have no issues with the budget for HS2 rocketing from the initial £33bn cost to over £100bn. The same government that spent £37bn on an ineffective track and trace system when there were viable options at under £1bn. The same government that punked billions on PPE contracts to buddies and donors.

Which do you feel would provide better value for money to the taxpayer - doctors, a train set, all that waste on covid?

Funny how they can't consider a proper windfall tax on energy companies that would more than offset a decent pay rise for all NHS staff isn't it?

Doctors are asking for 26% because they've seen no real terms rise in over a decade.

MP's of course have seen pay rise by 28% since 2010. Funny that.......

You make your bed

You lie in it

Or you ask for fair pay and when it's refused you use your legal right to strike and protest in the hope that encourages your employer to reconsider.

If you're not happy in your job then change careers.

Or strike for better pay and conditions.

Or don't.

And if we all did the same ?

Then employers would soon learn that you can't pay shit wages and maintain a happy workforce.

Why do you think the government and so many big businesses were keen to push the leave vote?

If it was about conditions,recruitment and hours of work

Absolutely

But it’s about £20 a week more

Look at the banners

“More Pay” far outnumbers anything else

Most of the recent strikes have been.

The Junior Doctors one is about pay.

The government have said it's unaffordable and would cost £2bn

Which do you feel would provide better value for money to the taxpayer - doctors, a train set, all that waste on covid?

Funny how they can't consider a proper windfall tax on energy companies that would more than offset a decent pay rise for all NHS staff isn't it?

Doctors are asking for 26% because they've seen no real terms rise in over a decade.

MP's of course have seen pay rise by 28% since 2010. Funny that.......

A global pandemic

A European war

They cost a few quid too

And yes

That money you speak of is gone or spoken for

So where does more come from ?

Where? The energy profits levy that Hunt announced last November will raise £55bn from now til 2028.

He also committed at a £20bn R&D budget whilst nor specifically saying what that will be spent on, although it relates to nuclear power and green energy, along with saying HS2 will go ahead despite the tripling of costs.

Maybe take 10% of that R&D budget. I'm sure the private sector can afford to invest in R&D themselves, given they will undoubtedly benefit from lucrative government contracts as EDF have done with Hinkley point. Maybe they should refuse to pay the ever rising bills on their new train set? If contacts were signed at a certain price then why is the taxpayer expected to pay triple because private companies can't provide the service they promised at the agreed price? They've asked for more money or time over 3000 times since work began.

How about we ask the government to provide value for money from spending rather than cash going to donors and cronies and the private sector, rather than efficient spending?

If the UK government was a private business it would have been shut down long ago.

The government are accountable to the population so yes, it is up to us where money is spent.

The problem is that the media have done a great job of telling everyone how irresponsible Labour would be in power re finances, when the history books tell otherwise.

Hence people keep voting in the same self serving morons time and time again, all the while complaining about the state of the country which is entirely down to the same morons.

Striking doesn't weaken the workforce at all. It shows that people are willing to use all their legal rights to protect themselves. It happens all over the world and is a highly effective tool when employers and governments are unwilling to hold sensible negotiations.

20+ years as a doctor in the NHS here and I certainly am not rich. In fact I was on call last night to cover for the striking juniors.

I wish them well, their strike is about who is going to be caring for people like me if I need it in the future.

Other posters have said things like “they knew what they were getting into”. Not strictly true, as pay, and pensions are a fraction of what they were when I started. Retirement age is forever increasing and the demands, expectations and standards expected by the public (and complained about by the politicians and media) are in a different stratosphere.

Other people will be saying the same I know, and I don’t want this to sound like a whinge, but medicine as a profession is slightly different to a job.

People going into this make a commitment, often at 15/16 years old to get the work experience, the skills and the qualifications they will need to even be considered for a university place. That’s at an age when lots of other people are not having to make quite such grown up choices. You won’t be getting your first pay cheque until you’re 24, up to 8 years after your non-medical classmates. Then add on 80k of debt. That commitment I talked about lasts until you’re 68 when you might be able to retire.

Medicine in the UK is largely a monopoly employer, that’s how the wages are driven down. Whilst in training (approx 10 years post graduating) you simply cannot work for anyone except the NHS. Wages are suppressed despite shortages because of what the governments of all flavours have always deemed a never ending supply of foreign qualified doctors wanting first world experience. These people often are trained in countries where the cost of training is zero.

If you want a decent quality of doctor to look after you when you need it, think about what it takes. And think about how you want those efforts to be recognised whilst working nights, weekends and Christmas Day. Because at the moment that’s only a couple of pounds an hour more than minimum wage.

OP, I'm sure they won't get 35%, but it can't be right that some doctors are effectively paid less than £15ph, can it?

I agree

But was that a surprise ?

We’re there waves kept a secret until after a contract agreeing to terms and conditions was signed ?"

If no one takes the jobs who looks after our health when we need it?

Who goes into a job thinking well the wages are not good but I am happy that they go backwards since 2010?

I think they need a good shake up. Get rid of the many managers they have for each thing and try and recruit new staff with a good enough wage that will keep them. The job is way too stressful and one I really couldnt do. Lets value the staff who can do it.

I know we all talk about not being able to get Dr appointment etc but there has been some plus's coming out of the pandemic, they have streamlined how they do things and bypass having to go to the Docs four times before being referred etc so it can be done.

I stand fully behind them, and hope they are listened to. I don't think these strikes are just about pay increase. I'm not a Jr Doctor, but I couldn't actually tell you the last time I worked a shift that was fully staffed for the whole shift.

Strikes aren't ideal for anyone, but please don't think this action is being done on a whim, it is always last resort.

Many professions such as doctors, nurses, teachers are no longer valued or renumerated accordingly as they should be. How are we expecting to get good calibre people is beyond me. They all strike as a last resort after years and years of pleas falling on deaf ears and not forgetting this is often not just about pay but conditions, risk to staff and patients and much more. As for people claiming privatisation is the answer, well has not worked particularly well so far for those aspects they have privatised already, not to mention dental care. Private insurance is not the answer either for those with pre-existing conditions as are not covered and premiums for elderly are simply unaffordable. It only works for those that started private health insurance early in life and before any conditions were diagnosed. Considering the financial struggles families have at the moment, even that would not be an option for many people either. A radical review is certainly needed inxluding a look at where money is wasted, but so is sufficient, urgent and targetted funding, appropriate renumeration of staff, forward planning and investment in training. That's just my opinion of course, but I am sure most of us will agree that things aren't really working and people are suffering daily.

35%?

If you are going to negotiate a pay rise, thats a strong start. But it is a negotiation. If they went in with an opening gambit of 5%, the Government would negotiate it down to 1 or immediately then "cave in" to give them 2% based on historic austerity pay rises.

we all need 9.2% minimum just to stand still and no one in the public sector is ever going to get that, but clapping on the doorstep in lieu of a pay rise doesn't put food on the table.

Some jobs you go in to for the love of the job first, then are you actually able to do it. Renumeration is often low down on the list at first. But when you see other professions getting generous pay deals yet the Govt restricts yours, you feel less valued.

The NHS, Police, Armed Forces etc lived through 1% pay rises as the whipping boys through austerity. Consistently undervalued whilst lauded in times of National Emergency.

I agree with previous comments that pay has to be affordable. But vanity projects like HS2 need to be cancelled and the money invested in something useful, like the public sector?

In addition, as a doctor you are not expected to have a bad day, make a poor decision and ethically speaking, you would not want to either. The permanently high level of responsibility and working with risk is rivalled by few other professions.

I can value more than one organisation. It isnt binary. now this government? Its hard to see many positives. Equally my experiences with nhs and drs hasnt been very good. No honestly. Pretty poor.

Whilst some do work hard. So do many other people. Who depending upon what you want at that point in time could be as important.

Lets also not forget that some drs, surgeons and consultants are extraordinairily well rewarded. And rinsing the nhs.

Then they should get paid more so they don’t go on strike! Clearly someone who has a job with years and years of training and has a job whereby someone’s life could be in their hands….they should get paid a huge amount. Not many people’s jobs can be life saving day in day out.
