Who is on strike today March 15- including tube drivers, teachers and junior doctors

Today (March 15) sees several trade unions in the UK out on strike. The widespread day of industrial action coincides with budget day, the day on which the Spring Budget will be announced by chancellor Jeremy Hunt.

Strikes have been commonplace across the country since summer 2022, with dozens of unions and thousands of workers taking part. The action centres on demands for better pay and working conditions across various sectors.

On March 15, workers across several industries are on strike. This is the most we expect to see in a single day this month.

Junior doctors are once again on strike today. Around 36,000 are on strike for the third of three consecutive days of strike action.

They are joined by London Underground workers who are members of the RMT and ASLEF. Industrial action on the tube has brought the network to a standstill.

RMT General secretary Mick Lynch said: "I congratulate all our London Underground members who have taken part in this strike action today. It shows how determined we are to reach a negotiated settlement to this long running dispute.
