New Ambulance Strike Dates Announced

Members of the GMB union will walk out on the 6th & 26th Feb and 6th & 20th March in a disupte over pay and conditions

Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said: 

“GMB’s ambulance workers are angry. In their own words ‘they are done’. 

"Our message to the Government is clear - talk pay now.  

“Ministers have made things worse by demonising the ambulance workers who provided life and limb cover on strike days - playing political games with their scaremongering.  

“The only way to solve this dispute is a proper pay offer. 

“But it seems the cold, dead hands of the Number 10 and 11 Downing Street are stopping this from happening. 

“In the face of government inaction, we are left with no choice but industrial action.  

“GMB ambulance workers are determined, they’re not going to back down.  

“It’s up for this Government to get serious on pay. We are waiting.”
