This week's strike action made me realise just how much anger and frustration there is out there about the pay and conditions across many sectors of our economy and society.

Reading and watching how some Union reps summarised the strike action also helped me understand why workers felt forced to go on strike, which appears as if it is because they have just reached boiling point, and has been further exacerbated because of the cost of living crisis.

Seeing newspaper headlines highlighting the huge profits being made by energy companies whilst we are all still in this cost of living crisis has further inflamed the situation, and justified the reasons underpinning the strike action.
