Stagnant wages while the cost of living soars has resulted in millions of workers being less well-off than they were just months ago. As living standards fall at their sharpest rate since the 1950s, unions are about to take action to ensure their members receive a fair wage which keeps up with increasing prices.
Grabbing the headlines this summer has been the major National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) strike, which saw trainlines cancelled, leader Mick Lynch become a household name and thousands join pickets across the country. But the threat of strikes to industries is not over, in fact appears to only be just getting started.
Dubbed the summer of discontent, industrial action is set to rock Britain well into late summer and beyond, as workers fight for better pay, improved working conditions and more secure positions. With strikes planned in the coming weeks, we've got a full list of every union that may take industrial action soon.
