1989–1990 British ambulance strike

Labour dispute in the UK

British ambulance workers went on strike from 7 September 1989 to 23 February 1990 as part of a dispute over pay between ambulance crews and the government. Ambulance workers were aggrieved that their pay had fallen behind that of firefighters with which it had been linked in 1985. A government pay offer of 7.5% was rejected by the five ambulance workers unions, which demanded a 25.8% rise.
