FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The BMA said its governing council will consider the next steps after doctors and medical students overwhelmingly rejected the government’s “final” offer on pensions, British media reported.
According to the offer, the BMA said, younger doctors should be paying more than £200,000 extra over their lifetime in pension contributions and work eight years longer, to 68.
Officials have urged the government to reopen talks with the health unions, but said neither the Treasury nor the Health Department had signalled any change to their position.
It is the first time since 1970s that doctors are being balloted for industrial action, the report said.
Meanwhile, leaders of a teaching union have rejected the pension changes, delivering a fresh blow to the coalition’s hopes of ending the long-running dispute.
The union leaders, meeting in Aberystwyth, said they wanted to negotiate further with the government, and will step up its campaign alongside other unions to press for improvements to the offer.
“We consulted with members before coming to a decision, and the message has come back loud and clear: the government’s offer is totally unacceptable and teachers and lecturers are prepared to take further action to secure a fairer deal”, said general secretary Elaine Edwards.
The row over pensions remains deadlocked, with some unions warning of fresh industrial action, possibly on March 28.
