Wow.
The lads and lasses deserve every penny they earn and more.
Will there be any resilience drafted in or will capacity just be shot for those two days? Can they use St John's to make up the numbers do you think?
The coordinated walkout by the three main ambulance unions - Unison, GMB and Unite - will affect non-life threatening calls only.
But it could mean people who have had trips and falls not being responded to.

As @Hettonlass has said won't affect life threatening calls as in ambulances but not sure what control are doing yet
Talk of the army been drafted in to drive ambulances

Was just going to post this. Tories love drafting the army in. Will purely be a PR thing. No point having an ambulance driven by the army with no paramedic in it.

The ambulances that will be outstanding will just be transport only as the life-threatening ones are not included in the strike
Why ?

Striker
Surely if someone phones for an ambulance because they've fallen and broken their leg a paramedic turns up. Not just a driver.

Not always, if they just need transport, they won't even get an ambulance just a taxi
Would depend how bad the break is

What alternative have they got ? Look at rail workers the Tories won’t even sit down and discuss the issues. Tory peers robbing millions and from the nhs and getting away with it , but honest hard working nhs staff are forced to to strike.

Should be against the law to put them in this position. Emotional blackmail is not a fair argument. We depend on these services as a society and they should be treated accordingly. The disgrace is that they have no option. Why should they lose pay in real terms? If they are so critical then pay them accordingly and don't fuck with their terms and conditions and that would equal no strike.
Exactly. They should be able to feed and clothe themselves with all those claps we gave them during the pandemic

Do the army not have medics theses days ?
Some jobs should not be allowed to strike . Imagine if your lot downed tools .
I bet a few on here would change their mind if their elderly mother was lying on the floor for hours in this weather with a broken hip .

They will just become pretty much first responders, shyte on the army to be thrown into things they aren’t trained for (medics aside).
