In Britain, three of the main railroad unions coordinated a walk-out on Friday. The unions are seeking pay increases to mitigate high inflation as well as job security guarantees after the precarity of the pandemic. This strike will affect some of the country's busiest rail lines, and in some areas, there will be no trains running at all. Simultaneously, Royal Mail workers are also on strike in the UK and seeking to restructure deliveries to improve work conditions. These industrial actions demonstrate the strain the Covid-19 pandemic has had on various industries and workers.
