UK health system faces biggest day of strikes next month

LONDON, Jan 20 — The UK's crisis-hit National Health Service is set for its biggest ever day of industrial action next month after thousands of ambulance workers announced today a series of new strikes.

The country has been hit by months of stoppages across the public and private sectors, as decades-high inflation fuels the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. Sunak has also infuriated unions by introducing controversial legislation requiring some frontline workers to maintain a minimum level of service during walkouts.

Around 3,000 ambulance workers who are members of Unite will stage 10 further days of strikes across the UK in the coming weeks, including on February 6 in Wales and much of England.
