What a bunch of overachieving whiners.

Re: Junior Doctors strike.....

I was a Trades Union representative when I worked for a living and appreciate the difficulties involved in employer/employee negotiations.
The difference here is that when our negotiating team reached agreement with the management and that agreement was recommended to the workforce by the union officials we, as a workforce, usually accepted the recommendation .... We believed in democracy and our elected officials and acted in a gentlemanly manner and not as petulant school kids.
If we voted against the recommendation, we would send the negotiating team back to the table to iron out the differences.
The JD's problems are self inflicted and need to be resolved with the BMA and not with the NHS management and government.
