Paul Nowak of the TUC hits out at the government's handling of the wave of industrial action, telling Sky News only the chancellor can solve the disputes by digging deep.

'The ambulance strikes do not have minimum safety levels'

"They can't wash their hands of these problems. When you have 300,000 vacancies in the NHS and social care you are going to have to find the resources to fix those problems. I would call on the PM and the chancellor to get involved. Ahead of a fresh round of strikes by nurses and civil servants in the coming week Mr Nowak said public support is still behind workers.

"When it comes to a straight battle in the court of public opinion between [health secretary] Steve Barclay, Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt and our nurses, our paramedics, our teachers and civil servants I think I know which side the British public is on.

TUC biscuit boss begging for more crumbs..🙄.

Tax payers money, so called funding

They earn more than enough and their demands are pure greed

When the union brings out the posties, and make them journey to London for marches etc, and make them keep paying their union subs, it amounts in a wages loss of £150.00 per month..now tell me they are on the workers side, no, theyre on Labours side..two toatally different things

This is a bit ridiculous. If the NHS calls a strike, and they all strike, would the gov fire them? They can’t 😂 there wouldn’t be people to replace them.

They cannot stop people from striking. Laws be damned.
