According to the government, some 2,000 military personnel, civil officials, and volunteers are being trained to support a variety of services, including the Border Force at airports and ports.
To mitigate the inconvenience caused by planned strikes leading up to Christmas, the military could be called out.
According to the administration, military people might serve as ambulance drivers and firefighters.
It was stated that over 2,000 military soldiers, public officials, and volunteers are undergoing training to support a variety of functions, including the Border Force at airports and ports.
It was stated that a decision on the deployment of troops had not yet been made, but the forces “are among the possibilities available if the anticipated strike action in these areas goes forward.”
This winter, the United Kingdom will experience a wave of strikes that will impact services such as transportation, the National Health Service, education, and delivery drivers.
As a result of the recession and cost-of-living crises gripping the United Kingdom, tens of thousands of workers are likely to engage in industrial action.
“Multiple unions have decided to go on strike in the coming weeks, putting millions of people at risk throughout the holiday season,” the administration stated.
“Many unions are requesting wage increases in line with inflation or even more, even though comparable increases in the private sector this year have averaged between four and six percent.
“The government recognizes that the current economic climate is extremely difficult. Therefore, it focuses on bringing inflation under control as the greatest method to let everyone’s money go further and prevent rising inflation rates from being ingrained in the British economy.”
The government stated, “There is still time to call off scheduled strikes, and governments have repeatedly urged unions and businesses to continue negotiations and reach an agreement as opposed to taking preventative industrial action.”
