The British public health service is facing the biggest day of strike in its history on Monday… Nurses and paramedics have decided to strike together. This movement is a continuation of the strikes observed last week by teachers, airport staff, public service and rail transport. All are demanding wage increases.
The UK is facing double-digit inflation and incomes are not keeping up. The population, hard hit by the crisis, approved the movement, but the government displayed its firmness: it refused to give in to wage demands and tried to restrict the right to strike. Tonight in Decryption, we talk about the major social crisis affecting the United Kingdom.
