The fact it is the first junior doctors strike for 40 years should have set the alarm bells ringing in any politicians ears.

I totally agree. If it was not for the Dagenham ladies, for example. Women would still have no where near equal pay.
plus going further back in history the London matchgirls at Bryant and May were working in appalling conditions with no regard for their health working with toxic chemicals. They had no option but to strike as the company bosses would not do anything.

Why should I and others have to suffer when others are having issues at work. I don't go inflicting any inconvenience on others if things are going pear shaped at my place of work

Fair point. How dare people strike to say get equal pay or against intolerable working conditions if you personally get a bit inconvenienced. I agree they should just suck it up and be grateful they have a job. I don't know what they were thinking the yogurt eating yurt wearing fascist communists....

I know, I know, they are just being utterly selfish and thinking of themselves by having some principals and standing up against exploitation in the workplace. Instead of just sucking it up or getting another job, as it is well known that the types of people generally exploited in the workplace can easily move between jobs. OK, that may mean that others will suffer and be exploited in the future as well if nothing is done about it. But think of the big picture. You are being slightly inconvenienced!. Some people hey, it's all me me me....

Yeah, right!
Junior Doctors are in an ideal position to do that......Not!
As are Teachers, Firemen, Police, Nurses and anyone else in such 'specialist' occupations (which are normally within public service)! Even Train/Underground Drivers for that matter! Actually, come to think of it, that's the reason there's a shortage of Nurses and Teachers - the stress of the jobs is not warranted by the compensation! And there's certainly an argument that the military could be similarly affected too - though happens to be aligned with the aims of the employer!
@Hacker..
It's principles btw. Though in the case of teachers, maybe both!

Some of the professions you mention can't go on strike, therefore, there options are stick with it or get another job

Are you for real? Are you honestly saying workers should do exactly what they are told or leave? No rights what so ever?

Of course thy should have rights and a contract of employment, you've got people banging on that employers should have the option to strike which is a pain in the backside for innocent parties all I'm saying is that some professions don't have the option to go on strike so they either go down the employment law route, get on with it or leave

Ha! :rofl:
Wouldn't normally correct spelling (these days), but that one was too contextual to resist!
Oh and Ross61's reference to Bryant and May and Strikes appealed to my sense of humour too!

To be fair it was a good spot.

So your argument is that as a few professions do not have the right to strike and also that you get a little inconvenienced then no one should ever strike?

I live to amuse.
It was accidental, but I did realise just after writing it. I thought no one will pick up on it...... Should have known better!

Them particular professions normally enjoy good wages or pensions, so less reason for them all to strike.
Do you think sickness provision, a maximum working week, overtime, holiday pay, equal pay would have been given freely if people hadnt have fought for them for over 100 years.
Your either on the wind up, or particularly thick.
