GMB has announced the dates more than 3,500 ambulance workers will walk out across three south coast trusts.
Paramedics, Emergency Care Assistants, call handlers and other staff will strike on December 21 and 28.
South Central Ambulance Service workers will walk out from 6am to 6pm on 21 December and midnight to 11.59pm on December 28.
South East Coast Ambulance Central Service workers will walk out from 6am until 11.59 on December 21 and midnight - 11.59pm on December 28.
South West Ambulance Central Service workers will walk out from 6am to 11.59pm on December 21 and midnight to 11.59pm on December 28.
Workers across the ambulance services and some NHS Trusts have voted to strike over the Government’s imposed 4 per cent pay award - another massive real terms pay cut.
GMB representatives will now meet with all three trusts to discuss requirements for life and limb cover.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:
“Ambulance workers – like other NHS workers – are on their knees.
“Demoralised and downtrodden, they’ve faced twelve years Conservative cuts to the service and their pay packets, fought on the frontline of a global pandemic and now face the worst cost of living crisis in a generation.
"A third of GMB ambulance workers think delays they’ve been involved with have led to the death of a patient.
“GMB calls on the Government to avoid a Winter of NHS strikes by negotiating a pay award that these workers deserve.”
