Resident Doctors Strike in England for Six Days Amid Pay Dispute

Action disrupts NHS services; Melbourne council staff walk out, JBS workers return, and Los Angeles educators weigh April 14 strike

Resident doctors in England have begun a six-day strike, their 15th walkout since 2023, after pay talks with the government broke down last month. Members of the British Medical Association walked out at 07:00 BST on Tuesday, prompting the NHS to draft senior medics to cover emergency care. Hospitals are cancelling some pre-planned treatments and appointments, while GP services are largely unaffected. Resident doctors account for nearly half of the NHS medical workforce, intensifying the disruption.

In Australia, council workers in several Melbourne local government areas staged a 24-hour stoppage over wages, halting waste collection in Merri‑bek, Darebin and Hume and pausing parking enforcement in Yarra, Maribyrnong and Melbourne. The Australian Services Union seeks a 10% rise in the first year followed by 4% annually and has not ruled out further action. In the United States, about 3,800 JBS meat-processing employees in Greeley are returning to work after a three-week strike, with new negotiations set for Thursday, while tens of thousands of Los Angeles teachers and staff could strike as soon as April 14 if no deal is reached. Together, the developments span healthcare, local government and education across three countries.
