A fresh wave of strikes will be held on Wednesday as the year of industrial unrest continues across the country.
Royal Mail workers, university lecturers and sixth-form college staff will take action on one of the biggest walkouts on the same day.
Picket lines will be mounted outside universities, colleges and Royal Mail centres while more strikes are planned in the run-up to Christmas.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are also planning seven more strikes in December, including Christmas Eve.
The union said its members will be in London on December 9 for the “biggest strike demonstration this country has ever seen”.
