Up to half a million Scots are taking part in a UK-wide industrial action today, as workers are taking a stand in what has been dubbed "Walkout Wednesday".
In one of Britain's largest mass strikes, Scottish workers across several professions are halting labour to improve a wide array of pay and working conditions. Among them include teachers, rail workers, various civil service staff and university employees.
The action, taking place on Wednesday, February 1, is to coincide with the "right to strike" rallies occurring across Britain to combat the UK government's anti-striking bill.
