Public warned of ‘significant disruption’ from strikes involving teachers, civil servants, Border Force staff and train drivers
The general secretary of the Trades Union Congress of UK hopes the government will take strikes seriously and “listen to the voices of working people”.
Speaking on Sky News, Paul Nowak, added:
I would hope that any employer would have the good grace and the sense to listen to the staff when the staff tell them that there’s a problem, and there clearly is a problem.
I am disappointed that it has come to this, that the unions have made this decision. It is not a last resort. We are still in discussions. Obviously there is a lot of strike action today but this strike did not need to go ahead.
