- W2497325118 abstract "An ambulance crew ‘refused to deal with a newborn baby found abandoned in a ditch’ declared the headline in the Sun on 23 November 1989. The ambulance unions were on strike. Or were they? ‘We’re very concerned about one thing’, said Derek Turner, an ambulanceman at Deptford Station, ‘the public think we’re on strike. We’re not on strike. All we’re doing is what we are contracted to do’ (quoted in the Financial Times, 23 September 1989). That meant working their 39-hour week (a ban on overtime) and ‘working-to-rule’. The unions were demanding a pay increase large enough to restore parity with the fire service; a pay formula similar to that in the other emergency services (linking pay increases to the upper quartile average earnings for adult male manual workers); premium rates for overtime; improvements to holiday entitlement and long-service leave/pay; and a further reduction in the working week. The first two demands, a substantial pay rise and a pay formula, were the key issues. What incensed the ambulance workers was the unequal treatment, as they saw it, between themselves and the police and fire-fighters. As Eric Robinson, a 40-year-old ambulanceman with 15 years’ service put it, ‘we stand shoulder to shoulder with the police and fire service on jobs, but we don’t stand shoulder to shoulder on pay. And yet the ambulance service handles more emergency calls each day than either the fire or police’ (quoted in the Financial Times, 25 October 1989). They were, quite simply, ‘third among equals’ (Kerr and Sachdev, 1992)." @default.
