AIBU Junior Doctors - Act responsibly and get back to work NOW !
If you want to work less hours fair enough.
And in fact you probably should be campaigning for that - together with an extra year or two of training so that you can get the necessary practical experience.
BUT at the moment you seem to be in effect saying that you want to continue to work long hours and continue to get premium rates for doing so.
Its really about your pay !

Meanwhile patient care is being put very much second to your own financial interests.

I also don't see the problem with highly educated professionals who have gone through years of training and have loads of responsibilities wanting to earn the same as their peers in different industries.

Junior doctors haven't said that they want to work less hours, they have said they don't want to work more hours for less pay. They have also said they don't want to work more hours and to be unsafe because of safeguards over maximum hours being removed.

I really wouldn't want to be treated by junior doctors working more hours, getting more tired and stretching themselves further. It's not fair and it's not safe.
