The strike affecting East Midlands Ambulance Service on December 28 has been called off until the new year. It comes after the GMB trade union informed its members that it has cancelled the industrial action at the end of the month.
Strikes will now take place on January, 11, 2023. The national pay dispute saw GMB members at East Midlands Ambulance Service take strike action over a 24-hour period, from 6am on Wednesday, December 21.
Ben Holdaway, EMAS Director of Operations, said: “The GMB announcement today is welcome as it removes some of the anxiety all our staff would have had around the action planned for the 28. It will also provide us with time to review the action taken this week and continue local discussions with our trade union colleagues to prepare for the new strike date of Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
