BMA (GMB) Strike Calendar

Numerous staff members employed by the British Medical Association (BMA) have strongly supported taking strike action to achieve better pay following prolonged reductions in their earnings.

The union representing these employees recorded 96 per cent in favor of a walkout, based on an 80 per cent turnout.

The planned industrial action is scheduled to last for 48 hours, commencing at 00.01 on Friday, March 27th, and concluding at 23.59 on Saturday, March 28th.

Staff have experienced a nearly 17 per cent erosion in their pay since 2012 due to years of pay awards below the rate of inflation.

The decision to hold a ballot followed the failure of pay discussions at ACAS, which occurred after the BMA provided unsatisfactory proposals.

The result of the ballot indicates significant employee sentiment within the organization.

Employees expressed dissatisfaction that the proposed pay agreement did not align with inflation or address the real-terms pay cuts they have endured.

The staff members are seeking a fair pay agreement that acknowledges their work and avoids further real-terms pay reductions.
