Ambulance drivers and paramedics in the UK have staged their second walkout in two months as they call for better pay and conditions. Those on the picket lines today in London say they have suffered "real-terms pay cuts" as inflation soars into double-digits. In the midst of widespread industrial action, which has seen NHS nurses, passport officials, postal workers and rail staff walk out in recent months, the UK government has proposed controversial new legislation that would force unions to provide a "minimum service".
