Significant strike drop for Aug 25 - only 15,000 days not worked in 18 strikes by 4,000 workers. Because workers were on holiday? More likely reflects absence of no resident doctors' strikes as were in July (when 83,000 days not worked in 225 strikes by 26,000 workers).

@tuc.org.uk Today is Workers Memorial Day. Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. Most don't die of mystery ailments or tragic accidents. They die because employers decided safety just wasn't that important a priority. Remember the dead: Fight for the living
