Resident doctors in England have voted for strike action amidst a pay dispute with the government. Despite a 5.4% pay increase for this financial year and a cumulative 22% increase over the past two years, wages are still approximately 20% lower in real terms than in 2008. The British Medical Association is advocating for "pay restoration". Nearly 48,000 doctors may be involved in potential walkouts, although the union is pursuing new negotiations with the government before finalizing strike dates.
