As people continue to grapple with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis workers across the UK are ramping up calls for better pay and conditions in the workplace.

A number of sectors will be affected in January as workers stage walk-outs with transport, education and health sectors just some of the areas that will be affected in the weeks ahead.

Within education, teachers and university lecturers will be striking on various dates across the month, while the NHS will be affected by strikes from nurses, ambulance drivers, midwives and more.
