Ambulance workers in England and Wales manned picket lines on Wednesday. Striking ambulance workers in England and Wales manned picket lines on Wednesday, escalating a pay dispute between the government and a host of public-sector staff. "Ambulance workers are seething at such a crude, insulting attempt to divert attention from the Government's continued chaos in the NHS," she said. Unions representing both nurses and ambulance workers in the state-run National Health Service (NHS) have threatened further stoppages in the new year if the government keeps refusing to discuss pay. YouGov polling published on Tuesday showed two-thirds of Britons support striking nurses, with 63-percent support for ambulance staff.
