UK junior doctors to stage further strikes

Thousands of British junior doctors are set to stage three further walkouts over an ongoing dispute about a contract set forth by the government.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said that the three 48-hour strikes will take place in March and April after Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced his intention to force through the contact to 45,000 workers despite fears it will “seriously undermine” the NHS. During the strikes, emergency cover will be provided.
