Ambulance crews in Co. Wexford havenotified the South Eastern Health Board that they will not pass a picket on theSpring Valley Nursing Home in Enniscorthy, unless they are responding to genuine emergencies.
Welcoming the move, SIPTU's Regional Secretary for the Midlands and South East, Mike Jennings said "This gesture of solidarity from the ambulance crews will be a significant boost to our efforts to ensure a fair settlement of this strike."
He also called on the nursing home's management to engage in "meaningful talks" with the union to solve the dispute which has resulted in industrial action at the home since August this year.
