Hundreds of ambulance workers across Wales, who are members of the GMB Union, have announced that they plan to strike for four new dates. The union confirmed on Wednesday that around 1,500 of its members in Wales will take industrial action over pay and working conditions.
Paramedics, Emergency Care Assistants, call handlers and other staff will walk out on Monday, February 6, Monday, February 20, Monday, March 6, and Monday, March 20. It comes after GMB Union members took their first strike action back in December.
Almost 1,500 ambulance workers in Wales took part in another industrial action on Wednesday, January 11. On the Thursday, negotiations took place between nine health and nursing unions, including GMB union, with the Health Minister Eluned Morgan to try to avoid further NHS strikes in Wales. But unions said that a one-off payment would not be "sufficient to address the real problems with pay".
