GMB has announced that its members working as paramedics, emergency care assistants, call handlers and other staff are set to walk out in a number of trusts, including those in the North East Ambulance Service.
More than 10,000 ambulance workers across England and Wales have voted to strike across nine trusts, following suit from NHS nurses who are also set to hold bouts of industrial action in the run in to Christmas.
Other ambulance trusts participating include: South West Ambulance Service, South East Coast Ambulance Service, North West Ambulance Service, South Central Ambulance Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service, West Midlands Ambulance Service, Welsh Ambulance Service and Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
