Description
A green hat with the UNISON logo embroidered in white. 5 UNISON badges are attached to the hat with messages including 'London Ambulance Service. Support the ambulance workers', 'Born in the NHS' and 'Safe staffing saves lives'.
This hat was worn by a striking London Ambulance Service worker on a picket line during the January 2023 strike. Ambulance workers in a number of regions went on strike in December 2022 and January 2023 in a bid to have their pay increased and to protest underfunding of the NHS. Further strikes in March 2023 were called off after the government agreed to pay negotiations.
