As tension between multiple industries and workers continue across the country, Royal Mail and education staff are taking to the picket lines today.
Workers at Royal Mail as well as university lecturers and sixth-form college staff are staging what could be one of the biggest strikes of the year on the same day today. The Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents Royal Mail workers, have staged the walkout due to a dispute over pay.
The ongoing dispute which has seen no offer accepted yet means that postal workers will stage seven more strikes in December, including Christmas Eve. The union boasted that its members will go to London on December 9 to take part in the "biggest strike demonstration this country has ever seen".
