After walking on the rails between the Lyon and Bercy stations in Paris, striking railway workers hold a general assembly on the 10th day of protests against pension reform. IMAGES
In front of the Gare de Lyon station in Paris, striking railway workers gather for the tenth day of national mobilisation against a highly unpopular pension reform. IMAGES
Images show UK teachers protesting in London as the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, presents his first budget to Parliament. The UK has been hit by a fresh wave of industrial action, with junior doctors, teachers, BBC journalists, civil servants and transport workers all walking out over pay which unions say has not kept up with the rate of inflation, which remains above 10 percent. The government says pay demands are unaffordable and will only serve to worsen the economic situation. IMAGES
Ambulances can be seen outside the emergency department of the Royal London Hospital, as drivers and paramedics stage a second strike, calling for pay increases that more closely match high inflation, joined this time by emergency call handlers. The government has introduced legislation which will enforce minimum service levels from striking workers. Unions say life-threatening emergencies are still being responded to, and that the new law would be unworkable. IMAGES
UK ambulance workers take to the picket line outside the London Ambulance Service headquarters, as they escalate a pay dispute with the government after walkouts by nurses and other public sector staff earlier in the week. The latest industrial action is being undertaken by paramedics and emergency call handlers, and comes amid similar pay and conditions-driven strikes by rail staff, passport control officers, postal workers and other NHS staff.
