Resident doctors in England are planning to strike again in June. This will be their 16th walkout in a long-running dispute about pay. The doctors say their pay does not match the work and pressure of their jobs. They are asking for better pay and conditions, and they want the government to agree to their demands. The strike is part of a wider pattern of industrial action that has continued for months. The BBC reports that the dispute is ongoing, and the doctors’ decision to strike shows they still do not feel the issue has been solved.
