The Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel, call upon this Government to honour it's promise to Ambulance Workers over pay. In the Conservative Manifesto of 2010, under the "NHYES" Campaign, it was clearly stated that NHS workers would be subject to a Pay Freeze. It is therefor unacceptable for our members to have a Pay cut forced upon them. Under the "Process Evolution" currently being undertaken Ambulance staff are having forced upon them a Pay cut, through the reduction in anti-social hours working payments, reduction in overtime payments and negative changes in working arrangement's. This all add's up to a pay cut for frontline staff, those who can least afford it. The Government must honour it's promise, and stop allowing Middle management numbers to swell and Senior staff to be awarded above inflation pay rises, whilst our hardworking members are forced into Financial Hardship. We the Undersigned call upon the Government to honour it's pledge and protect frontline workers in the Ambulance Service.

The emails I receive from frontline staff describing their financial strain are becoming harder to read every single day. I am spending my evenings documenting these accounts to ensure their reality cannot be ignored by those in power.

Seeing the momentum grow is draining but it proves we are not fighting this battle alone. This support keeps me focused despite the silence from those in charge.

My wife is an ambo and shes been on the road 12 hours a day for years. They are getting absolutely shafted while the big bosses sit in nice offices. Sort it out.

These people save our lives and they deserve proper pay. Shame on this govt for treating them like rubbish.

Absolute joke. Cut the management fat not the people actually doing the work.
