Paul Nowak of the TUC hits out at the government's handling of the wave of industrial action, telling Sky News only the chancellor can solve the disputes by digging deep.
'The ambulance strikes do not have minimum safety levels'
"They can't wash their hands of these problems. When you have 300,000 vacancies in the NHS and social care you are going to have to find the resources to fix those problems. I would call on the PM and the chancellor to get involved. Ahead of a fresh round of strikes by nurses and civil servants in the coming week Mr Nowak said public support is still behind workers.
