Ambulance staff will strike on November 28 across Scotland, prompting fears the Army will have to ferry the sick to hospitals.
About 1800 members of the GMB union will walk out from 6am on that date – for the first time in more than three decades. The move comes amid a wave of strikes, with hospital staff, teachers, rail and postal workers also planning winter walkouts.
Now the SNP government and Health Secretary Humza Yousaf have been urged to get round the table with ambulance staff to avert a strike or face a health emergency.
