Ambulance strikes show government must come to the table on pay, GMB warns Parliament's health committee
Ambulance workers walk out on strike tomorrow for proper pay and NHS funding
“LIFE-and-limb cover” will be provided across the ambulance service in England and Wales today to ensure patients are not put at risk during strikes, a union leader told MPs today.
GMB national secretary Rachel Harrison said that unions had been working “round the clock” to ensure there were enough strike exemptions to keep critical services running.
Tens of thousands of ambulance staff including paramedics and call handlers are expected to walk out tomorrow in a dispute over pay.
