Strikes will now be happening across the NHS every day next week apart from Wednesday
Thousands of ambulance workers across five services in England - including North West Ambulance Service - will strike on February 10 in the long-running dispute over pay and staffing, Unison has announced.
Unison’s head of health Sara Gorton said: “After promising everyone a quicker pay review body process, the secretary of state’s own department failed to get its evidence in on time earlier this month. Ministers must stop fobbing the public off with promises of a better NHS, while not lifting a finger to solve the staffing emergency staring them in the face.
The GMB union has announced that more than 10,000 blue light workers in England will walk out on February 6 and 20, and March 6 and 20, in a fraught dispute over pay. The February 6 date coincides with further strike action by the Royal College of Nursing in England and Wales, marking the first time paramedics and nurses will down tools on the same day.
