Teachers, postal workers and nurses are among those taking industrial action
Already this year the likes of train, mail and security staff strikes have impacted on the public and just this week nurses announced their intention to take industrial action. Some of the strikes will be taking place on the same day which will likely lead to widespread disruption, the MEN reports.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: “University staff are taking the biggest strike action in the history of higher education. They have had enough of falling pay, pension cuts and gig economy working conditions – all whilst vice-chancellors enjoy lottery-win salaries and live it up in their grace and favour mansions.
Strike dates are yet to be announced by GMB.Workers at brewers Greene King will also go on strike in a row over pay. Unite said 188 of its members based in Bury St Edmunds, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, and Abingdon, Oxfordshire, will walk out for five days from December 5. A ballot among hundreds of thousands of Unison members closes on Friday, while a ballot for Unite's NHS members will close next week. On January 9, junior doctors will vote on whether or not they will go on strike.
