They're chanting:

What do we want? Jobs.
When do we want them? August.


August is when junior doctors in the UK traditionally change posts. Some people also jokingly refer to it as the killing season as everyone is new on the wards and people don't know their way around the hospitals (yet). From the sounds of things, it may be even worse this year.
