More than 15,000 ambulance workers will vote on strike actions as ballot dates have been revealed. The thousands of staff across 11 trusts in England and Wales will take part in the strike vote, including those from the North West Ambulance Service.
Thousands more NHS workers will also be balloted across other NHS trusts, with more votes set to follow, according to GMB Union. 'Cuts and shortages mean GMB members feel they are unable to deliver safe standards of patient care', says the union.
The ballot opens on October 24 and closes on November 29. That means any potential strike action could take place before Christmas.
