Numerous strikes have been held across the health, education, and retail sectors this year, mostly calling for better pay and working conditions. But how do strikes actually work? What role do unions play? And how is an agreement reached?In today's podcast, we strip it back and look into the different types of strike action, some of the ongoing negotiations, and why you might have been looking at alternative modes of travel this week.
