Ambulance worker strikes in England have been called off by the Unite union. Union members at ambulance trusts in the West Midlands, North West, South Central, South Coastal, and East Midlands were due to walk out on Monday (March 6).
However, the Unite union paused the strike action on Sunday afternoon in order to enter pay talks. It said it followed 'further assurances' from the government - but warned strike action could still resume.
Unite head of operations Gail Cartmail said: “Following further assurances from the Government over the weekend, Unite has in good faith agreed to pause the strike action. If the meeting doesn’t meet these assurances strike action will resume.”
