Ambulance workers are staging a strike today
The use of the military to assist East Midlands Ambulance Service during strike action has been labeled a 'smokescreen' by striking workers. Industrial action is taking place at EMAS from February 20 until February 21 involving members of GMB and Unite.
The most serious incidents will still be attended, as with previous strikes. The government says most ambulance staff have received a rise of at least four per cent, increasing average basic pay per person to around £34,300. He added that GMB’s dispute is with the Government, not EMAS, who he said they have an “impeccable relationship” with. Mr Dawn added that there has been no movement from the Government since the strike action started in December 2022.
Ben Holdaway, director of operations at EMAS said: “We expect the industrial action period to be very challenging, and the implementation of military support has always been part of the NHS plans in case of increased and sustained pressure. At EMAS, we are expecting up to 20 military colleagues to be available to us.
