More than 10,000 ambulance workers have voted to strike in nine trusts across England and Wales, including South East Coast Ambulance Service.
Paramedics, emergency care assistants, call handlers and other staff are now set to walk out in the following trusts:
South West Ambulance Service
South East Coast Ambulance Service
North West Ambulance Service
South Central Ambulance Service
North East Ambulance Service
East Midlands Ambulance Service
West Midlands Ambulance Service
Welsh Ambulance Service
Yorkshire Ambulance Service
Workers across the ambulance services and some NHS Trusts say they have voted to strike over the Government’s imposed 4 per cent pay award – with the GMB union calling it another massive real terms pay cut.
GMB will now meet with reps in the coming days to discuss potential strike dates before Christmas.
