Junior Doctor Strike - Good For Them??
I'm open to be educated here but doctors on strike today and asking for a 35% pay increase. My question is really that nearly 70% of the country are supporting their action. Why is it so popular. Is it because we think they deserve such an increase or is it partly to support any group that helps to topple the government?

I'm afraid I'm not a fan of strikers at all, never have been, because it is always the general public who has to ay the price. I can't believe nearly 70% of the country support them - why?? Surely if one of their loved ones became seriously ill and needed all the medical help they could get and it wasn't available because of strikes, they would be frantic with worry? That's how I see it.
I don't have access to the experience of doctors, and little enthusiasm to go study it, but I do recall, some years back now, when I was still at work, doctors being given a massive salary increase, making me wonder why I chose tech/engineering as a career at the time. It was about the time when booking to see the doctor you registered with became less easy as they always had found something else to do instead, and locums became the inevitable visit. I'm unsure how things have supposed to deteriorated such that they are all now paid a pittance to do operations etc.. In any case the sheer size of some pay raise demands are ridiculous, especially so in present economic conditions. Is there no arbitration panel that can be called in ?
The public generally support more pay for public sector staff like nurses Teachers doctors care workers( now they are underpaid), and also to a less extent training bus drivers.
Yet would they also support rises for lower payed staff in private cpmpanys like shop workers or drivers or bank clerks or call centre staff or cleaners or fruit pickers or waiters... you can make a case for all.maybe everyone deserves 35%. Worry later about who pays for it... either much higher tax and much higher shop or restraunt prices
