GMB UNION has reminded residents that ambulance staff are set to walk out again.
Paramedics, emergency care assistants, call handlers, and other staff will stage pickets across the south on Monday, February 20.
Workers across the ambulance services voted to strike following a 4% pay offer and say that the government has “smeared” the service on their life and limb cover.
Rachel Harrison, GMB’s 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.”
She continued: “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.”
Further strikes are set to take place on Monday, March 6, and Monday, March 20.
