Same thing here in Canada (although doctors are pretty well paid here). In Ontario the government actually capped pay raises for public health workers (and other public sector workers) at 1% during the pandemic, when our jobs were getting harder and busier, and inflation started going through the roof. We’re easily a decade behind where we should be if not more. And in our case, it’s not even legal to strike.
