Teachers unions threaten nationwide strikes over pay and working conditions, as junior doctors plan their own walkouts. The NASUWT, representing three hundred thousand members, voted to ballot for action if the government doesnt deliver a fully funded pay rise above inflation, plus cuts to hours and more cash for special educational needs. The governments six point five percent increase over three years is criticized as insufficient, and unions oppose Labours plans to increase special needs kids in mainstream schools and force every school into multi-academy trusts. Parents may face school closures and chaos, while junior doctors start their fifteenth walkout since 2023. Government officials defend their steps to hike pay, curb bad behavior, ease workloads, and improve wellbeing, but strikes loom across sectors, increasing pressure.
