Workers at East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) are walking out as part of the latest strike over pay. The military have been drafted in to support the service during the action, which will take place on Monday and Tuesday (February 20 and 21).
EMAS said unlike previous strikes, demand on its services remained high across the last action on February 6 and 7. It said up to 20 armed forces personnel would be stepping in to help.
GMB and Unite union members will be taking part in the action. Ben Holdaway, director of operations at EMAS, said he expected the period to be "very challenging".
