BREAKING: Ambulance workers and a raft of other healthcare workers will strike once again over pay next month.
Unison members across five different services have been protesting over threadbare pay and staffing conditions.Up to 15,000 Unison ambulance workers went on strike last month and were joined by 5,000 of their NHS colleagues at two Liverpool hospital trusts.
Unite said yesterday Welsh ambulance staff will walk out for two more days in March with ‘no end in sight’ to the dispute. The stoppages, set for March 6-10, come on top of emergency services strikes up and down Britain every day this week. Unions representing ambulance workers rejected the government’s last pay offer of 3% for 2022-23, a figure they said doesn’t keep up with double-digit inflation.
