Support for strikes by resident doctors in the UK has significantly waned, with only 26% of voters now backing their industrial action compared to 52% a year ago. This downturn may be attributed to a 22% salary increase received from the Labour government, leading to demands for an additional 29% adjustment. A poll indicates that 41% of the public oppose the strikes, including a notable portion of Labour supporters. Furthermore, dissatisfaction with the government's negotiation strategies has risen, with 43% believing it is performing poorly in dealings with trade unions.
Public support for strikes by resident doctors has collapsed, with barely one in four voters now backing their campaign of industrial action. Approval for strikes has halved from 52% a year ago to just 26%.
