Zaidi ya Wauguzi 10,000 wanaosimamiwa na Huduma ya Afya ya Afya ya Taifa (NHS) Nchini England, Wales na Ireland Kaskazini wanatarajia kushiriki katika maandamano hayo, Jumatano Desemba 21, 2022.
Aidha, wahudumu wa magari ya huduma ya kwanza wa England na Wales nao watashiriki, isipokuwa tu kama muafaka utafikiwa kabla ya muda huo.
Ikiwa yatafanyika itakuwa ndani ya wiki moja maandamano yanatokea mara mbili, awali waliongezewa malipo lakini wanadai kuwa kiwango kilichoongezwa ni kidogo.

Nurses to strike as ambulance crews plan walkouts
About 10,000 NHS nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are to strike for the second time in less than a week in protest over their pay.
Wednesday will see ambulance staff in England and Wales walk out too, unless a meeting later with the health secretary can avert it.
Steve Barclay has invited three unions representing paramedics to talks.
The joint letter was sent out by health chiefs to NHS trusts and integrated care boards in England, urging hospitals to free-up beds by safely discharging patients ahead of industrial action by ambulance crews.
Measures should also be put in place to make sure ambulance patient handovers are kept to no more than 15 minutes, it advises.
Nurses staged their biggest ever strike in the history of the NHS last week.
Nearly 10,000 staff were absent on Thursday and 16,000 appointments and surgeries had to be rescheduled in England alone.
Tuesday's action could cause similar disruption, although services such as urgent cancer care, will continue.
The strike involves nurses in about a quarter of hospitals and community teams in England, all health boards in Northern Ireland and all but one health board in Wales. Nurses are not striking in Scotland.
Protected services include chemotherapy, emergency cancer services, dialysis, critical care units, neonatal and paediatric intensive care, along with some areas of mental health and learning disability and autism services.
