Hardly getting over it.
That you're a scab-licking shitcunt?

You really don't get it. You're too busy buying into the "but they earn enough" shit.
If the government is allowed to unilaterally impose new employment contracts with adverse terms and conditions on public sector employees, where do you think they'll stop -with the doctors?
Oh lovely.

No, it will be all of us. They may get the junior doctors working the weekends as though they are weekdays but what about the other roles. Doctors can't do 90% of what needs to be done to care for patients (or diagnose them for that matter!). You can be sure that Nurses weekend enhancements are next for the chop, and then all the other Professions!

Quite agree, just wonder if Bankers haven't been on strike (refusing to invest) for several years now...

With the partial justification of "the private sector don't do it", when the private sector did, but were able to progressively bugger their employees because of the de-unionisation of private sector workforces over the last 30 years.
These neoliberal fucks are taking us back to Victorian values, and I don't mean faith, hope and charity.

You're right. It's too good an insult to waste on the likes of you.

Get to fuck, you private healthcare supporting cunt.

I mean how could it possibly affect us if doctors have to work longer hours? It's not like they have to make life and death decisions.

Showed this to a colleague who chuckled and said "let's get Hunt sacked". Sadly, I'm not sure that would stop anything
Unless... if public opinion was so against it would the government throw Hunt under the bus as they u-turned?
They won't "u-turn". If Hunt goes, they'll just replace him with another small brain/big ego combo like Grunt Shitts. The Tories are talking about this in terms of this being their "miners' strike" - a one-off opportunity not just to break a union, but a profession. Once they've broken the doctors - if it doesn't happen this time round, they'll go again after the referendum - they'll sweep through the public sector like shit through a goose.

They certainly have contempt for the professions: first the teachers (anyone without qualifications could teach according to Gove), now the doctors. Do they dare take on the legal profession too?
Fucking anti-intellectual pea-brained cunts, the lot of them.

I work in a supermarket and I've talked about the strike with a few different colleagues who all support the strike. Fuck this divide and rule shit, we should all strike as early and often as possible.

When people in non-graduate positions strike: 'well if you didn't want to work in your job why didn't you go to university/why did you choose that subject at university instead of a stem subject/why didn't you pick a different stem subject?'
When people in jobs which require a degree strike: 'Why are you striking when people in lower paid jobs aren't striking?'

When did I ever mention private healthcare? The NHS is great. I still think GPs are overpaid though.

The junior doctor I know is about 7 years in and still in debt from the years of study. He regularly works 12 hour days, and has never been skiing in his life. .

Quite, even if you're so incredibly dim as to not support the doctors, the fact that they are striking is excellent news as it will hopefully encourage others to do the same.

So many particulars. So many questions.
a strike is called. in any sector. The response options
a)managment fucking people again, must have pushed them right to it if they are giving up the days pay. Hope they get a result
b) Are we sure this is right? its going to inconvenience me and what about the wider implications of safety on that day?
c) fuck them I don't get weekend rates so neither should anyone else
which side are you on boys etc

We often talk about how lacking in power our union is (supermarket worker here). With the new 'living wage' coming in the deal is that we lose our bigger hourly rate for weekends and no more paid breaks, meaning we're only going to be about fifty quid better off each month. I'm not so sure seeing other people striking and going 'my conditions are shit so everyone else's should be as well' is going to help matters, really.
