Ambulance workers are set to strike again next month in the dispute over patient safety.
Unite, the largest union in the country, said that the continuing refusal of the management at the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust to discuss patient safety – which led to the derecognition of the union – had left its members with no option, but to take further industrial action.
Unite’s 500 members will stage a 12-hour stoppage on Friday, June 7, from noon to midnight. This follows a one-day strike on April 2.
The union warned yesterday (FRI) that if the management then still maintained their “intransigence to negotiations” there would be a 24-hour stoppage on Saturday, June 22 from midnight to midnight.
