THOUGHT those parcel delays and Northern line cancellations were all over? Err, not quite. If you'd been waiting for 2022's hot strike summer to cool off before booking a weekend break, you could still be waiting some time - or you will if you're planning to get anywhere by train, plane or ferry in the next couple of weeks. This weekend, staff across more than 14 train operators will begin the first of another four days of planned industrial action over pay and working conditions, and the third date is set to coincide with another strike on the Tube and buses. Hope you didn't have plans to go anywhere on August 19.
Ferry workers, airport staff and now even easy-Jet and Ryanair workers all say they will be downing tools over the next few weeks - and it's not just the transport tribe. BT and Openreach workers held their first national strikes in 35 years last week after claiming staff had started turning to food banks; Post Office staff have been striking over pay; and last week, even Amazon deliveries were hit by delays after uproar over a "pathetic" 35p-an-hour pay rise resulted in staff walking out at four UK warehouses. And let's not forget London's barristers, who are also striking over cuts to legal aid funding. Here's why.
