Ambulance workers in the north west are to stage two more days of walkouts next year as the bitter row over pay and conditions continues. Unison announced that members will strike again in January.
It comes just a day after the biggest ambulance service strike in 30 years hit England and Wales, with paramedics, call-handlers, technicians and other North West Ambulance Service staff among those going on strike.
Members of three unions - the GMB, Unite and Unison - were involved on Wednesday (December 21) which collectively represented around 25,000 ambulance service workers. GMB union members are to stage a further strike at nine trusts on December 28 following a vote to strike in a dispute over the Government's 4 per cent pay award.
