RARE PHOTOS: The strikes this week when they are taking place and how they will affect you | Vintage Vibes

As we approach the final week before Christmas, many services across the country will be disrupted by a series of strikes taking place in multiple industries and sectors.

Among those taking part in strike action include nurses, ambulance drivers, driving examiners, highway workers, and postal workers. It means that many important services which many rely on during the festive period will be disrupted, including postal services which are heavily used to send presents and Christmas cards.

Meanwhile, ambulance services and some health services will be heavily disrupted by the industrial action, with non-life-threatening emergency calls potentially not being attended to on the strike days.
