Offers aimed at resolving disputes over pay have been rejected by teachers and ambulance workers in Wales, with more strikes now being planned.
The National Education Union also rejected an offer.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham urged the Welsh government to ‘act now before the strikes escalate further’
