Thousands of people marched through Leeds city centre as train drivers, teachers and other key unions held industrial action on Wednesday.
The Trades Union Congress brought together tens of unions, each marching in solidarity with one another and pushing their message for higher pay, better working environments and protecting the right to strike. The march came down the Headrow, with thousands gathering outside Leeds Town Hall to stage a rally.
There were a number of teaching unions, as teachers across the country begin their first day of strike action. Members of the National Education Union (NEU) voted for strike action after rejecting a fie per cent pay increase from the government, the NEU is demanding a pay increase above the current inflation rate.
