That's the thing though it is not about money,they lose money striking for a start.
Then they are still available even on strike for any emergencies that arise and need them.

Two of my Cousins are Junior Doctors, they are shattered all the time now, they say this will make things worse, if Hunt imposes this against their will and really he should be learning from them not dictating to them.
They predict they will and many other Junior Doctors will too, either leave the profession altogether or go to work in another Country.

Thereby avoiding the criticism for the likely worse care that will inevitably come from the imposition of a contract, that not only the Junior Doctors do not want or agree with but in fact neither do the Consultants either, who also support their Junior Doctors.
