Are you taking part in or affected by the UK strikes?

A wave of industrial action over pay, closures and safety standards is expected to bring widespread disruption to Britain’s railways, airports and post offices over the Christmas period.

More than 3,000 Post Office workers were taking industrial action on Monday over proposed branch closures and pay, which Southern rail staff are continuing their dispute with the train operating company over the role of guards on trains.

Meanwhile, airport staff including baggage handlers are set to strike in the lead up to Christmas, while British Airways and Virgin Atlantic cabin crew will strike over pay on Christmas Day and Boxing Day unless a deal is reached.

We would like to hear the views of staff from the affected companies alongside those of the impacted services. If you’re striking, let us know why - and what message you’re hoping to send to the government and/or your employer. If you are a customer of Southern Rail, the affected post office branches or the airlines involved, you can share your views too.
