Junior doctors have been taking strike action on and off since MARCH 2023. Finally it looks like a deal might happen.

The latest strike alone resulted in over 60,000 appointments being cancelled, so it's great that the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is trying to sort this out.

Literally I dread going to work every Thursday because I get the privilege of working with this awful consultant.

Scrubbed for the first case and he was so impatient. I really can't with him. I literally hated every minute of it. The second the surgery was over I did a sign out and hurried away and had a 45 minute break. I wouldn't want to scrub and work with him. The next time they tell me to scrub for him, I won't. I don't care if I don't learn, I cannot be subjected to this kind of treatment.

Went home a bit early but didn't have the capacity to go to the gym because my legs. and calves hurt so much for standing 4 hours with a heavy lead gown on and my lower back really hurts.

October 4, 2023

Last day of the junior doctor and consultant strike! Sad that this didn't extend until Thursday and my favorite consultant has a case tomorrow and I just know that I'll be there in his list! Goody! Nakakaputangina talaga. Pagod ako at galit every Thursday!

Assigned in Emergencies with Niki, Ate Rose and Erol today and not a single case. I was about to do a lap but got canceled last minute. Niki and I just spoke about Ed and Merch and how they're similar and we both just found out that we're really similar. She even said that birds of the same feather flock together.

It was a very quiet day. Nothing major to note really. Didn't go to the gym today but instead just went home. I'm literally regretting this decision.

October 3, 2023

Second day of not doing anything really. Today has been uneventful. I was initially assigned to do emergencies today with Kuya JM but Sam said that I was supposed to be doing something downstairs in Orthopaedics but when I came down, Elli just told me to continue with the inventory of stocks. Another lazy day. Finished everything and when I got too bored I looked up all the expired sets and consumables that we had.

Didn't go to the gym because I was tired for some reason.

October 2, 2023

First day of the junior doctor and consultant strike and I thought I wouldn't be doing anything but I'm assigned in emergencies with Tanya, Erica, and my baby girl Ally. I volunteered to do the first VP shunt and I just observed that neurosurgeons really are meticulous and bitchy. I really don't get the micro aggression that these professionals do sometimes and that's all that we did. Nothing else followed.

UK government to be reported to UN over strike law by TUC

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) says it is reporting the UK government to the United Nations watchdog on workers’ rights over a new strikes law.

New rules on strikes will require some employees to work during industrial action – or face being sacked.

The TUC said the legislation fell short of international legal standards.

The government said the new rules “protect the lives and livelihoods of the general public” as well as access to public services.

Once implemented, the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act will apply to a wide range of workers, including those in the rail industry and emergency services.

The TUC labelled them “anti-strike laws” and, as representatives from 48 unions gathered on Sunday, its general secretary, Paul Nowak said they’re “unworkable” – and may be illegal.

Speaking on the opening day of the TUC Congress in Liverpool, Mr Nowak said the union body will be lodging the case at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) because the new law “falls far short” of international legal standards.

The government took forward the legislation following a year of unprecedented industrial action by hundreds of thousands of workers, including nurses, teachers, civil servants and railway staff.

A spokeswoman for the government said: “The purpose of this legislation is to protect the lives and livelihoods of the general public and ensure they can continue to access vital public services during strikes.”

She added: “The legislation does not remove the ability to strike, but people expect the government to act in circumstances where their rights and freedoms are being disproportionately impacted, and that’s what we are doing with this Bill.”

The government pointed to research which suggested 600,000 medical appointments have been rescheduled over the past year, and £1.2bn in output has been lost, due to strikes.

A public consultation is under way into how the laws, which received Royal Assent in July, will be implemented by employers, but trade unions may well challenge them in the courts.

Junior doctors and consultants to strike together

Under the new law, which will apply to England, Scotland and Wales, the government would set minimum service levels after a consultation.

Employers will then be able to issue a “work notice” to unions, setting out who is required to work during a strike.

Under the legislation, there would be no automatic protection from unfair dismissal for an employee who is told to work through a notice but chooses to strike.

If a strike is not conducted in accordance with the new rules, employers would be also be able to sue unions for losses.

The WGA and Sag Aftra strikes aren't just cruicial in their own right, they're crucial for the precident they'll set if they succeed. This is hugely important, and not just in the entertainment industry. It's worth mentioning that a new Minimum Service Strikes Act just became active in the UK in July 2023; it's been framed as a necessary thing to make sure essential services (emergency services, border security, transportation, education, etc) keep working even when there's a strike on, so the public doesn't suffer, but of course that that means is that any strike becomes less effective, possibly even ineffective. The Trades Union Congress has actually just this week (September) reported the UK government to the United Nations because of this. Long story short: strike law is very convoluted, do your research before assuming someone is crossing a picket line and don't abuse them, and support all the strikers. Because the rights they're fighting for might be your own, too, and if nothing else they pave the way for future battles that will affect you. And all that is easier said than done given that strikes mean you have to get emergency childcare for your kids who can't go to school, or that the medical treatment you need is delayed again because the junior doctors are on strike, or that holiday you've been desperately looking forward to is cancelled because you can't get there by train, or the next season you want is postponed until who knows how many years down the line. It is frustrating. It's supposed to be and it has to be. That's the point. All these jobs are vital and the people doing them deserve to be supported and protected and compensated. Since their employers aren't doing it, we'll have to, for now. But that does NOT mean you should just assume anyone who's working in a striking industry is a scab. CHECK FIRST. You help no one by assuming the worst and bullying them. Frankly you help no one by bullying scabs, either, they're usually just as desperate in their own ways. Just don't support them and do support the strikers. The goal is to improve the whole system, not to feel self-righteous by pointing out someone you think is doing something wrong.

I’m just going to say this here so people aren’t concerned.

I am a writer and actor. I am based in the UK and Ireland.

We are not currently striking.

We are being affected by the strikes, there’s certainly not as many jobs around, but we aren’t striking.

If I take a UK-production company job, I am not scabbing.

We have different unions. There are actors represented by both Equity and SAG-AFTRA, but I am not one of them.

(I’m actually not even in Equity yet, I’ve only just earned enough to be accepted and I can’t afford the membership fee at this moment)

We are not allowed to strike in the UK. We have terrible anti-strike laws. We are also being screwed over a lot, but I’m hoping if WGA and SAG-AFTRA succeed we might get some trickle down help.

It’d be totally different if I took an American based job, which I won’t because I want the writers and actors to break the big studios.

Support the strikes, but please remember not everyone is American.

Peter Capaldi is the fucking greatest! Here he is on the picket line outside University College Hospital supporting the Junior Doctors’ strike. The Doctor with doctors.

Bless the man!

Here’s a link to a story about the strikes for those who aren’t aware of what’s going on. But for anyone who doesn’t know - a Junior Doctor is simply anyone who’s not actually a consultant. So, for Holby fans, Morven and Raf, Dom and Zosia - they’re all classed as junior doctors. And Junior Doctors have a range of skills and experience, but they’re all paid peanuts. Collectively, 3 junior doctors working to take out someone’s appendix would earn £66.55 per hour between them. Which is fucking insane! And MPs are now earning £86,584 pa from 1 April 2023 - plus MPs get expenses paid and subsidised meals in the House of Commons - whereas NHS staff have to pay for car parking and they’re lucky if they can get a break long enough to find food - assuming there’s even somewhere to supply food for them, because a lot of hospitals don’t have staff canteens.

Public sector pay: Workers offered pay rises of around 6%

PA Media

More than one million public sector workers, including teachers, police and doctors, have been offered pay rises of between 5%-7%, the government says.

Under the proposals, police and prison officers in England and Wales would receive a 7% pay rise, while teachers and junior doctors in England would get 6.5% and 6% respectively.

Four education unions said the deal would allow them to end their dispute.

They said they would advise their members to accept the offer.

Will pay rises for doctors and teachers cause inflation?

Asked how he would pay for increases, Rishi Sunak said it would “mean choices – I’m not shying away from that”.

“It’s not about cuts, it’s just about focusing on public sector workers’ pay rather than other things,” he added, insisting changes could be made “without impacting frontline service delivery”.

He also said the government would raise over £1bn by “significantly” increasing charges for migrants coming to the UK when they apply for visas and the levy they pay to access the NHS.

Pay increases for teachers and the police will come in from September this year, while rises for others – including doctors, dentists and police – will be backdated to April.

The salaries of NHS staff in England – apart from junior doctors and dentists – are not included in these recommendations.

Under a deal set out earlier this year, NHS workers will receive a 5% pay rise. Ambulance workers, nurses, physiotherapists and porters will also get a one-off sum of at least £1,655.

What pay rises have been offered and how have the unions reacted?

Teachers (England) 6.5%: Because schools will not have to fund pay rises from existing budgets, teaching unions are generally happy and even issued a joint statement with the government saying the offer recognises how vital teachers are.

Junior doctors (England) 6% + £1,250 consolidated increase: This is probably the least happy group. Unions say the 6% offered marks another real-terms pay cut and does not address years of below-inflation pay. It criticised the government for not negotiating, as did happen with doctors with Scotland. The unions are also unhappy as the government has not promised extra money to fund the rise so departments will have to make savings, raising fears of cuts. The junior doctors’ strikes will continue.

Consultants, dentists and GPs (England) 6%: The British Dental Association says the below-inflation awards will “undermine efforts to bring NHS dentistry back from the brink”.

Police officers (England & Wales) 7%: The Police Federation of England and Wales says officers will have mixed feelings – because it is not as bad as rumoured, but it does not fully address the challenge of rising prices.

Prison officers (England & Wales) 7% and more for support grades: The POA union – which represents prison workers and, like the police, does not have the right to strike – gave its initial reaction on Twitter, saying in real terms it was another pay cut, but that it will scrutinise the deal further.

Armed forces (UK) 5% + £1,000 consolidated increase: Armed Forces personnel are not allowed to be members of a trade union. Their professional association, the British Armed Forces Federation, said that while their members did not have a right to strike, they were “voting with their feet” by leaving the services.

Senior civil servants 5.5%: The FDA union called the offer “fair and reasonable”, but Prospect said: “The government has not allocated extra money to pay for it.”

The prime minister ruled out funding the increases through extra borrowing or increasing taxes.

Mr Sunak said pay awards in the education department would be fully funded, but did not set out how this would be achieved.

Schools minister Nick Gibb promised there would be no cuts in “front-line services” in schools or colleges.

Rising prices have prompted industrial action across much of the public sector, with workers calling for pay rises matching or exceeding the rate of inflation which currently stands at 8.7%.

But with the education unions welcoming the government’s offer, parents and pupils could see an end to strikes which have impacted schools across England over the past year.

On Thursday, junior doctors in England began a five day walkout, after their calls for a 35% pay increase were rejected.

The government has been resistant to offering above-inflation pay rises warning it would further fuel inflation.

Live: Ministers agree pay rise offer

Pay rise announced as junior doctors strike

Responding to Mr Sunak’s announcement, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “By accepting the pay review body recommendations and then not funding them the government is putting its departments between a rock and hard place – they now have to choose between paying workers a half-decent salary or cutting services in already underfunded public services.”

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said union members would take “comfort” from the fact that the prime minister had accepted the pay review bodies’ recommendations.

“The question will be – is he able to deliver pay rises in a way that won’t have a negative impact on services. Our members will have a long look at that – they won’t want to see Peter robbed to pay Paul.

Mr Sunak said his offer was “final” and further industrial action would not change that decision, stressing: “There will be no more talks on pay. We will not negotiate again on this year’s settlements and no amount of strikes will change our decision.”

Speaking at the Unite union’s policy conference in Brighton, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the pay offers would be “subject to negotiation” and he would “not wade into that”.

He said there was no “magic wand that could wave away the need for economic stability”, but added: “If Labour can not break the suffocating hold of low wages we will have failed.”

What are pay review bodies?

Almost half of public sector workers are covered by pay review bodies, including police and prison officers, the armed forces, doctors, dentists and teachers.

The pay review bodies are made up of economists and experts in human resources, with experience in both the public and private sector, and are appointed by the relevant government department.

Their recommendations are not legally binding, meaning the government can choose to reject or partially ignore the advice, but it is usually accepted.
