Members of UNITE in Yorkshire Ambulance service took two successful days of industrial action in a dispute over issues including rotas and meal breaks.
UNITE are also still in dispute over the Trust's decision to derecognise them last year. UNISON, the majority union in the service, have also rejected the terms and conditions package, after a 70% reject vote from members. The branch has threatened to ballot for action if the Trust don't back down on the proposals. After many staff were down banded last year and UNISON failed to put up any fight against this union members made sure on this occasion that their dissatisfaction was heard and the branch officers were forced to reject a package they had spent months negotiating. This rank and file pressure needs to be more organised and to link up with UNITE activists to build on this weeks action.
