It appears some members don't believe that the action behind the strike, is worthwile and wrong.

I have seen through my work what these Drs have to go through in hospitals, its no joke I would not like to be a Drs, they work hard for many years to be a Dr, and get treated like dirt by the Government.

The Government cannot treat Public Sector workers, as if they don't exist. They get 1% pay rise. While, the Government keep giving themselves pay rise.

Irs not right

Arthur, do you have a link showing the legal advice Doctors obtained about the walk-out, please?

All I could find was this...

The British Medical Association ignored the advice of its own lawyers before launching a judicial review over new contracts for junior doctors, it has emerged.

Although lawyers said the planned legal action had a better than even chance of success, they added that the Government could easily overcome this challenge and continue with the imposition.

And they warned the union that its review will “definitely not” prevent the health secretary from imposing a contract on England’s 37,000 junior doctors.

The lawyers advised that there was nothing “inherently unlawful” about the Government’s proposed contract.

They concluded that the judicial review should instead be seen as a “last throw of the dice” – with its main potential benefit being a new window of opportunity for the junior doctors’ committee to secure further improvements to the contract about to Be imposed.
