Trade unionists have been meeting for the annual Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Brighton this week where they've been discussing the potential of joint strike action this winter in response to the cost of living crisis.
Yesterday delegates passed a motion calling on the TUC to "provide resources for a special working group of willing unions which would organise coordinated action over pay and terms and conditions where possible with all TUC unions, including further demonstrations, national and regional rallies, and coordinated industrial action where possible."
This year has already seen mass strike action across a number on industries with rail workers, royal mail staff, criminal barristers, bus drivers, and college lecturers all staging walkouts over pay and working conditions.
