In the UK, as inflation continues to rise at 10%, the highest level in 40 years, strikes demanding higher wages continue.

Strikes in the public sector are expected to continue for the time being, with nurses and paramedics warning of a strike, and firefighters also deciding to strike.

The government, which has put inflation control as its biggest task, is showing a tough stance against strikes, saying that wage hikes can fuel inflation.
