A set of fresh strikes has been announced by Unite for ambulance workers across the UK as the dispute over pay and staffing continues to cause disruption. The union said its members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will stage 10 further strikes over the coming weeks, warning that additional dates could be announced soon.
