This generation of Tories seem to think that this is their miners strike, they won't back down and can't afford to be seen to.
eta, hope I am wrong about this.
I really hope you're wrong. But ...

Utter scum.
And, I believe, nursing staff too, sometime soon.So do I. But I think they may have bitten off more than they can chew. Especially with the consultants next in line.
Which is exactly the sort of mood you want people in in an already highly pressurised and stressful work environmentmy sister (what's the opposite of the black sheep of the family? Whatever it is, that's her) is a junior doctor. She said consultants, jnr doctors, nurses are all spitting mad in hospital at the moment and the mood is very combative
That's scarily plausible, tooThis generation of Tories seem to think that this is their miners strike, they won't back down and can't afford to be seen to.

go away you weirdo.
tory governments (check) taking on a group of public sector employees (check) and imposing changes on their terms and conditions (check)...If you seriously think there is any comparison between this and the miners strike of the early 80s you need to learn some history.

Oh yes those poor working class junior doctors going down t' pit every day.
you claimed there was no comparison while i was pointing out several commonalities. my post not intended to be, nor was it, a complete list or work on the subject and only a pointless twat would assume it was.Very simplistic. You need to understand how the pit was at the heart of many communities in places like South Wales and the North East.
i suspect he hired LeslieB specifically so people would see there are greater twazzocks out there than MarkyMarrk and so be kinder to MarkyMarrk in future.Where's MarkyMark gone? He suddenly seems a bit less of a dick.

Exactly. Both events representing elements of the long 'progress' of the neo-liberal rejection of the post-war 'social contract'. Within 32 years of the Miners' Strike the last pit was closed; I've no doubt that the party of financialised capital would desire the end of publicly-owned hospitals within such a time frame.tory governments (check) taking on a group of public sector employees (check) and imposing changes on their terms and conditions (check)...
serious question. If there was a 'junior bankers' strike taking place in the City of London, how many people on this thread would support it?
After all, how does attacking the terms and conditions of junior bankers help security guards, receptionists and those that clean their offices?
are bankers in the public sector? muppetserious question. If there was a 'junior bankers' strike taking place in the City of London, how many people on this thread would support it?

So one more time, how does attacking the terms and conditions of junior doctors help health care assistants?
In the abstract I'd defend all workers rights to withdraw their labour
