The last ambulance strike in Scotland came way back in the dying days of Margaret Thatcher’s Tory government.
It was part of a dispute which ran from September 7, 1989, to February 23, 1990, between the ambulance workers and the UK Government over pay.
An offer of 7.5 per cent was rejected by the five ambulance workers’ unions, who demanded a 25.8 per cent rise to bring their wages more in line with those in the fire service.
