REsident doctors have a strong case for a Generous salary rise. Their average pay fell by one fifth of 2008. year, taking into account inflation, even after last year’s 5.4 percent increase.
But to demand a An increase of 29 percentAnd that injuri in the strike, the ballot for support, is a counterproductive and harmful tactic.
Last year, they provided a better offer than most public sector workers, and there were no arrays attached to more efficient work practices. They should believe Wes Street When he tells them: “You will not find another secretary for health and social protection as nice to reside [formerly junior] doctors Like me. “
Mr. Uling provided a solution to funding for Nhs During the next four years, generously compared to other departments. But the growth of actual production of 3 percent is only around the long-term historical average. Half the rate achieved in new weeks. Therefore, there is no scope for utopian canvas settlements (such as excessively generous GP contracts negotiated at Tony Blair times).
If British Medical AssociationThe doctor’s union, he really wanted to promote the interest of his members, would work with Mr. Street to plan a gradual right to increase the doctor in the next few years of the NHS modernization and increase health care productivity.
Instead, he strives to refuse a public opinion with a threat to another round of strikes in search of the claim that the most favorable person is considered a pie in heaven.
Already public opinion is closely opposed to the doctors who can stop on strike (which are contradicted 49 percent to 44 percent, but one thing that will ensure that doctors are lacking public support for such unrealized increases.
Of course, it is just the opening of bids in negotiations – but this is negotiations with a public opinion as much as the Lord of the Street.
BMA is satisfied as a militant trade trade unions They usually, with a “excellent majority” in favor of strikes in their ballot: 90 percent must seem like an impressive mandate. But the turnout for this ballot was only 55 percent, which means that only less than half of the people who meet the voting conditions are supported by strikes – less than the “residence” margin.
This is not how to decide the distribution of resources in the public health service. The idea that one NHS interest should use its old-fashioned, industrial muscle in the style of the seventies to ensure a higher share of the limited budget is one that belongs in the past.
The NHS itself is in danger. The conservative company weakened him to the extent that many younger people were used to pay for private GPS and fewer procedures. If the waiting lists are left from the coronavirus cannot be cleaned, support for the idea of the social security system such as those previously advocated by Nigel Farage.
Maybe you should. Continental Europe seems to be well enough without a Universal model funded by taxes such as NHS. But that is not what BMA states to believe. He believes in the NHS without the need. And if his members also believe, they should drop the threat of strikes and work with Mr. Street to modernize NHS and do to work.
