Sharon Graham to visit union pickets on second strike of Unite ambulance workers in Chorley Lancs.

What: Sharon Graham will be available for media interviews on the ambulance workers strike on the union picket line 

Where: North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Highfield Industrial Estate, North St, Chorley PR7 1QD 

When:  From 07:30 hrs Monday 23 January 2023 (Earlier if requested).

Strike action across the Ambulance service will escalate with more than 2500 workers joining the dispute on Monday (23 January). The first day of action was on December 21 last year.

The Unite industrial action will affect ambulance trusts in the West Midlands, North West and North East. Wales will also take strike action on Monday 23 January in the increasingly bitter dispute over pay.

Unite has reached agreements with the local ambulance trusts to ensure life and limb emergency cover. Unite has and will continue to ensure this life and limb cover is provided during the strike. Meanwhile, the government fails to provide minimum standards across the NHS on a daily basis.
