Resident doctors in England are demanding a 29% pay increase, citing a significant loss of earnings since 2008. The British Medical Association, led by Dr. Tom Dolphin, insists that this figure is non-negotiable as it reflects a principle of pay restoration. The planned five-day strike is a response to dissatisfaction with the government's approach to pay increases, including a recent inadequate offer. Dolphin attributes this financial struggle to a lack of acknowledgment from previous governments regarding the escalation of the issue over the years.
Resident doctors demand a 29% pay increase, which reflects a real-terms loss in earnings since 2008. The British Medical Association will not negotiate on this figure.
The 29% pay claim is seen as non-negotiable because it represents the total loss of value over the years. Any lesser amount would not restore that value.
