MORE than 10,000 ambulance workers have voted to strike across nine NHS trusts, GMB announced today, as health services braced for widespread industrial action before Christmas.
The health union said its members working as paramedics, emergency care assistants, call handlers and other staff across England and Wales are set to walk out after Tory ministers offered a massive real-terms pay cut via this year’s 4 per cent wage award.
GMB warned it will meet reps in coming days to discuss potential industrial action before the festive season.
