Big day of walkouts
ROYAL Mail workers, university lecturers and teachers will go on strike today as industrial unrest continues to spread across the country.
Picket lines will be mounted outside postal delivery and sorting offices, universities and schools as unions edge closer to co-ordinated industrial action. It will be one of the biggest walkouts of the year. Talks between leaders of unions involved in the disputes have aimed at taking joint action, such as strikes on the same day.
