St John ambulance officers escalate strike actions amid stagnant negotiations over recruitment and staffing levels.

St John ambulance officers are intensifying strike actions, as they challenge inaccurate claims by St John and politicians on recruitment and staffing levels. The officers, represented by FIRST Union, are now in "political limbo" as negotiations with St John and the government remain stagnant. This situation comes as shifts go unfilled due to staff shortages and the consequences of underfunding are evident across the country.
