Waves of strikes hit Britain..

Britain is reeling under a ‘double-digit’ inflation and the working class is the worst affected due to this. Rail workers are organising a series of strikes, demanding pay increase at par with inflation and are also opposing compulsory retirements as well as the introduction of ‘driver-only’ trains, without a guard. RMT is the trade union which is leading the railways strike. In Britain, railways are completely privatised and are being owned by 15 private train companies. Rail workers are not the only ones who are fighting. Postal workers, nurses, bus drivers, highway workers and airports baggage handlers are also fighting.
