Tens of thousands have walked out
Junior doctors in England have gone on strike for the first day in a three-day walkout. A dispute over pay and conditions has seen more than 36,000 junior doctors across the country take strike action.
The British Medical Association says that years of below-inflation pay rises have amounted to a big real-terms cut since 2009. The government has so far refused to negotiate further on pay, but is under growing pressure to reconsider its stance.When are junior doctors on strike? Junior doctors in England will stage three days of strike action, from Monday, March 13 to Wednesday, March 15 inclusive. The strike marks the longest-ever period of industrial action staged by junior doctors.
It is calling on the government to make good this shortfall with a 35% pay rise for 2022-3. This covers both the pay lost since 2008-9 and the current rate of inflation, which is running at around 10% at present. How much are junior doctors paid? Junior doctors working under the 2016 contract are paid a salary of between £29,384 and £58,398 a year depending on their seniority within the profession. The BMA points out that some junior doctors receive a lower hourly rate than Pret baristas are set to get from April.
