A top union official skipped negotiations on the eve of the ambulance strike to jet off on holiday
Government negotiators were expecting Colenzo Jarrett-Thorpe to be representing the Unite union at talks on Tuesday, aimed at averting the ambulance workers' walkouts on Wednesday.
But Mr Jarrett-Thorpe went away, despite the negotiations having been scheduled weeks in advance, the Sun reported. It comes after the boss of another union whose ambulance worker members also went on strike accused the government of putting patients' lives at risk.Ambulance workers went on strike on Wednesday.She added: 'The only time they called me in for a meeting was today, the day before the strike, and it's completely irresponsible of them to refuse to open any kind of discussions or negotiations with us.
Mr Jarrett-Thorpe was replaced by activist Onay Kasab, a former Socialist Workers Party parliamentary candidate who has called for the downfall of capitalism.“No glorious defeats, instead we go all-out to win. Forward to a workers’ economy.”A Tory source told the Sun: “Union officials claim to be concerned about patient safety but seem to be more interested in waging political battles and furthering industrial strife by any means necessary.
Ministers warned members of the public not to get involved in any "risky activity" such as needless car journeys and contact sports, especially as health leaders "cannot guarantee patient safety" during the walkouts.
