      The ten seconds to read the first two paragraphs in the link reveal that they’re asking for more than 6%. This seems hardly outrageous given that inflation has consistently beaten that every year.

        That “more than 6%” they want is 35%.

        If you’re going to strike, at least come up with a reasonable pay demand. Otherwise you just look silly.

              Thanks for sharing. This confirms exactly what I said. They’ve received below inflation every year for 15 years. Now they’re asking for a huge rise to make up for it and the government is again standing on 6%. It’s sad that people are so against workers seeing their pay increase instead of being fucked over. I hope they get the 35% and this torrie government can get fucked.

                Even Wes Streeting (Labour Health Secretary) has said 35% is stupid. What are they going to do then?

                They’re not going to get 35%, it’s ridiculous.

                Where would the money come from? If they managed to find it, it would also fuel inflation, which is worse for all of us.

                  Would it? Public sector wages (and doctors in particular) already lag far behind inflation. They’re not the ones fuelling any of this.

                  Let the billionaires who have profited off the workers for decades foot the bill. Stop making excuses for this behaviour and stand by your working class brethren. Unless you’re a billionaire, then feel free to cough up.
