More industrial action is due to cause disruption across the UK in February. Train drivers, teachers and nurses are among those who will go on strike this month.
On the first day of the month alone, half-a-million workers are due to walk out in bitter disputes over pay, jobs and conditions. Teachers, train drivers, civil servants, university lecturers, bus drivers and security guards from seven trade unions will all walk out on Wednesday (February 1) in what will be the biggest day of industrial action in over a decade.
Protests will be held across the country on the same day against the Government’s controversial plans for a new law on minimum service levels during strikes. Unions have dubbed it the “anti-strike bill”, saying it could lead to workers who vote legally to strike, being sacked.
