In today's extra podcast, guest presenters Sally Barker and Benjamin Chang discuss Monday's vote for strike action by junior doctors in England and Wales. As waves of industrial action in many sectors sweep the nation, Sally and Ben discuss whether Christians should ever strike over pay and conditions, let alone those in responsible roles such as junior doctors? Is there an issue of justice here, and if so, for whom? And whether we decide to strike or not to strike, what will be the consequences?
This is an issue that has come up repeatedly over the last few years, and CMF has produced some resources and discussions on the issue in the past. The links below relate mainly to the junior doctors' strikes of 2015-2016:
