Striking ambulance service workers in Shropshire say their membership ranks have grown since they last downed tools before Christmas.

"They are joining unions because they are finding the same issues and are becoming more and more disappointed with the actions of the Government and are actively wanting to join the strike." "Our dispute is not with West Midlands Ambulance Service, it is with the Government and what they have done to the NHS. Managers have been bringing us cups of tea."Other people on the picket line were keen to point out that the strike does not just involve ambulance drivers but also maintenance crews, and training bursaries that do not cover the costs of living while people are in training.
Kath Perry, the local TUC treasurer and Unison member, said:"We are fighting for an NHS that is going down the drain."
