Ambulance workers reject Welsh Government pay offer and are set to keep striking

Ambulance workers have rejected the Welsh Government's new pay offer and are set to keep striking. Ambulance workers who are members of the union Unite have overwhelmingly rejected the most recent pay offer.

The union said that in a ballot of Unite members on the current offer, 92% of those who voted rejected the pay offer with a 70% turnout. This means that strikes planned for February 20, 21 and 22 are set to go ahead.

The Welsh Government offered a pay increase of 1.5% and a one-off payment equivalent to a further 1.5% of salary. Health minister Elunedd Morgan said it was their final pay offer. You can read about the full details of the pay offer here.
