Further ambulance strikes likely if HSE refuse to recognise PNA

Further ambulance strikes are likely if the HSE continues to refuse to recognise the right of more than 500 personnel to be represented by the union of their choice, the Psychiatric Nurses Association has warned.

The staff, who are members of the National Ambulance Service (NAS), will stage their 4th 12-hour strike tomorrow. It is a further escalation in their campaign over union recognition.
