Thousands of workers across the country are due to go on strike in the build up to Christmas, in what has been dubbed the 'winter of discontent.'
More than 500,000 people are expected to strike in the coming weeks as unions demand better pay amid the cost of living crisis and a cut in services. It could top one million if other threatened action goes ahead, the Mirror reports.
Manchester Airport could face travel chaos after border staff announced plans to strike over the Christmas period and a walk-out at North West Ambulance Service could see thousands of patients impacted.
