Junior doctors threaten 'trade union dispute of the century' with rolling strikes from September Junior doctors have threatened the "trade union dispute of the century" as they pledge to "ratchet up" strike action with rolling strikes from September.
The junior doctors committee of the British Medical Association (BMA) is to ask its full council to back strikes in opposition to a controversial new contract for medics.
Despite divisions within the union, no fresh ballot of members will be required to support more strikes, if the council backs the plan.
The new contract for doctors, which is due to be imposed from autumn, was rejected by the BMA last month after 58 per cent of medics opposed it in a poll, with a 68 per cent turnout. The Daily Telegraph
