Britain’s cost-of-living crisis is already taking the shine off Black Friday. Now, the annual shopping bonanza faces an additional threat from strikes that could disrupt deliveries, subdue online sales and deliver another blow to the slumping economy. . Workers are demanding better pay and working conditions as they struggle with soaring food and energy bills.
Unison, a labor union representing nearly half a million health service workers, will complete its own strike ballot on Friday. According to the Office for National Statistics, 356,000 days were lost to strike action in August, not far off the previous high recorded in July 2014, when 386,000 days were lost.
