Resident doctors in England will strike again in June. This will be the 16th strike. They are angry about pay. Doctors say their pay does not match their work. They also say the situation has lasted for a long time. The strike is part of a dispute between resident doctors and the government. Resident doctors are doctors in training. They work in hospitals and help patients every day. The strike means some services may be slower or changed. Patients may need to wait longer. The doctors want fair pay and better support.
