The continued wave of industrial action will persist across the country over the coming months due to disputes over pay, jobs, and conditions.
Chief among them is the nurses' strikes involving members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) across England. Teachers and ambulance staff are also poised to announce new walkouts in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, planned legislation aimed at ensuring minimum levels of service during strikes will receive its Second Reading in Parliament today. A demonstration will be held outside Downing Street to protest against the government’s move.
