Wakefield ambulance workers to join the picket line as 1,500 across Yorkshire walk out
and live on Freeview channel 276
Paramedics, emergency care assistants, call handlers and other staff at Yorkshire Ambulance Service will stage pickets across the county, including at Wakefield Ambulance Station on Brindley Way.
Workers across the ambulance service voted to strike over the Government’s imposed four per cent pay award and say they are furious over the Government’s apparent attempts to ‘smear them over life and limb cover on strike days.’
