The deal they got in 2008 was unbelievably good. Liebour rolled over and gave them a fistful of good things, including removing the obligation to provide out-of-hours cover. It was a costly deal won at the height of the credit bubble that preceded the massive crash we are now all living through and was never sustainable. Doctors are intelligent people and the majority of them acknowledge this - which is why most doctors did not support this ludicrous 'strike that isn't', either by not voting at all, or by voting against.
