In England, ambulance workers had planned to strike multiple days this week; however, these strikes have been called off after the government agreed to labor talks with the unions regarding pay and work conditions. Across the English healthcare industry, health workers have been affected by pay cuts due to inflation and intense workplace pressure due to low staffing in hospitals. Until this recent agreement, the government had refused to negotiate pay with the healthcare unions. The unions have stated that if these talks do not progress, strike actions will resume.
