Two day strike by ambulance personnel members of PNA gets underway
Ambulance personnel who are members of the Psychiatric Nurses Association have walked off the job for the second time in a month in a row over union recognition
Over 500 PNA ambulance branch members around the country including paramedics, advanced paramedics and emergency medical technicians will be on the picket lines today and tomorrow from now (7am) until 5pm
This is the third day of strike action by ambulance personnel, as they call on the HSE to agree to recognise the PNA as their union of choice.
Up to 70 crew in Cork city and County are involved in the work stoppage and speaking to RedFM News David Walker who works out of the ambulance base at the Kinsale Road Roundabout says the action is a last resort
