Not read the rest of the thread but

1- Doctors have been shafted over many years and earn massively less than they used to. They cannot, save for going to private work, swap employers.

2- That said, the same can be said for many many other public sector positions, which have not got the leverage to have achieved the big rise they recently have which has mitigated their position somewhat.

So its a bit rich, but essentially not an unreasonable position.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, sounds like your rep was useless. I've only ever had good experiences with my union.


I appreciate your concern and perhaps I was unusual, but I only called on them once in 35 years and they were f...g pointless.

Ironically, when later I was made redundant and being offered really good terms they were all over it like a rash even though I did not need the c...ts.

I've only had bad experiences from my unions. Arrogant gits.

But I accept that some of them may mean well, but they have just been useless when needed in my experience.

I dont say this with pleasure or I would not have been a member for half my lifetime. Just with sorrow at being so totally let down by those I considered my backstop.

and cut their hours, they have to work far too many. obviously this is more of a long term solution as we'll need to train/import a lot more doctors (and nurses) in the interim.

i don't want an exhausted doctor on ÂŁ15 an hour making life-saving decisions for me or my loved ones!


I'm not so sure that under their current contract they do work the same 90 hour week as their predecessors. It was all about safe working. If they do a long week with on call it all balances out.

'only' 80 hours a week max, averaged over 4 weeks (so they could work 90 week 1, 70 week 2, 60 week 3, 100 week 4)

that still seems far too much to me for any job, let alone one as demanding and critical as a doctor

I will have the interview, listen to what the pay and work structure is, thank them when I’m hired and weeks later say ‘I’m underpaid and overworked’
But hey every employee says the same!!!!!

Herb’s OP makes a very unfair comparison.

Most sociological definitions would not consider doctors working class. They typically earn substantially higher incomes than traditional working-class occupations, possess extensive formal education and professional qualifications, and hold considerable social prestige. Doctors also have significant autonomy in their work, make independent decisions about patient care, and often have supervisory responsibilities over other healthcare staff.

Most sociologists would classify doctors as part of the “professional middle class” or “upper middle class.” This recognises that whilst they may be employees rather than capital owners, their high levels of education, income, social status, and professional autonomy distinguish them from traditional working-class occupations.

Hopeless salad of fallacies.

The point was about working class people becoming doctors, not about the class they are perceived to have, after qualification.

Your posts get more desperate and pathetic with each passing day.

Indeed. As someone who comes from a working class background and was the first (only) person from their family to go to university, I find the idea that people from working class backgrounds couldn't possibly become doctors deeply offensive. But then troll's gonna troll.

Why do you feel the need to make stuff up and try to wind people up on a forum for fans of a provincial second tier football team? What life choices have you made that have led you to the point where this is how you get your kicks?
