The date of the ballot has now been revealed
More than 15,000 ambulance workers will vote on strike actions as ballot dates have been revealed. The thousands of staff across 11 trusts in England and Wales will take part in the strike vote, including those from the North West Ambulance Service.
The ballot opens on October 24 and closes on November 29. That means any potential strike action could take place before Christmas. Ambulance workers from London, East of England, East and West Midlands, North East, Yorkshire, North West, South Central, South East Coast, South West and Wales Ambulance trusts will take part in the strike vote. The strike ballots follow consultative votes across all the trusts in which workers voted strongly in favour of strike action, the GMB Union has said.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Officer, said: “Ambulance workers have just had enough. They’ve not been on strike in decades, but they are at the end of what they can take.
