First Union members of St John Ambulance are planning to walk off the job for the first time in a fight for better pay and working conditions.
They'll strike on 25 November for 24 hours.
The paramedics say they are exhausted, undervalued and morale at St John has reached new lows.
Intensive care paramedic Anthony Ivan and St John's Deputy Chief Executive of ambulance operations Dan Ohs speak to Corin Dann.
