In contrast to yesterday’s 12-hour strike, the two strikes announced by Unison for next month will be 24-hour strikes.
Thousands of ambulance crews will take part in strikes announced today by the Unison union for January 11 and 23, as the British government refuses to negotiate on their pay demands.
In contrast to yesterday’s 12-hour strike, the two strikes announced by Unison for next month will be 24-hour strikes.
The strikes concern all members of ambulance crews and not just rescuers, it is clarified in the announcement of Unison, which represents the majority of workers in this sector. However, he emphasizes that several of its members will be exempted in order to offer their services in emergencies.
“Only through talks will this dispute end,” Unison general secretary Christina Makania said. “No health worker wants to strike again in the new year,” he added.
The British Ministry of Health did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
