BUFFALO, N.Y. — About 830 residents and fellows at the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine are set to strike in September if ongoing negotiations do not end in a deal by Sept. 1.
One resident, Dr. Steven Moran, said the pay does not reflect the work he and his fellow residents put in every day.
“We work really hard and our compensation is not to the amount of hours we work. Sometimes we work 60 to 80 hours a week, 80 maximum. It’s a long time to be working for money that just doesn’t make ends meet anymore,” said Dr. Moran.
