GMB union members working for North East Ambulance Service again took to picket lines across the North East as their pay dispute with the Government shows no sign of ending.
Workers were at picket lines at ambulance stations from Gateshead and Hebburn to North Shields and Bishop Auckland. The GMB union has held a number of strike days in recent weeks, but there has been no sign of resolution to the pay dispute.
The GMB said more than 11,000 of its ambulance workers will walk out in England and Wales, including paramedics, emergency care assistants and call handlers, with ambulance workers in the Unite union in parts of the country also on strike.
