Workforce | Everyone is striking!

It is no wonder that the content of our last few posts has all been about the ever-changing world and the “never normal”.

With financial pressures from energy prices, also on private business, being added to inflationary anxieties on workers, there is a feeling that perhaps we could be drifting toward another “winter of discontent”.
