Activists and Regular readers of our blogs will be aware that Unite Ambulance workers have been involved with a long running dispute with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service after they de-recognised the Union. We are happy to announce that this issue has now been resolved! See statement below.
Both parties are resolved to settle all outstanding issues and return immediately to a normalised working relationship. The priority of both YAS and Unite is to ensure the delivery of a first-class ambulance service for the people of Yorkshire and Humberside.
In acknowledgement of the fact that both parties have committed to building a constructive working relationship, an agreement has now been reached that will see Unite formally re-recognised by the Trust. Both parties will now work together on all relevant issues to safeguard the interests and safety of patients.
Both YAS and Unite are now looking forward to forging a new relationship based on mutual respect and a commitment to the people of Yorkshire and Humberside.
