Their union, the British Medical Association (BMA), said talks with the government ended on Saturday with an offer that was unacceptable.
Depending on experience, consultants' salaries can range from below £90,000 to £120,000, but the BMA said take-home pay had fallen by 35% since 2008.
The government urged the BMA to consider the impact on patients. BBC News
