Thousands of people are marching in Paris against the rising cost of living called by left-wing political parties and backed by hundreds of associations, which are seeking to build on the momentum created by the refinery standoff which began at the end of September. IMAGES
Hundreds of Nigerian workers across various sectors strike over the rising cost of living following the removal of the petrol subsidy. The nationwide walkout was called by the two main workers unions --the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) -- after talks with the government to extend the subsidy broke down.

Thousands take to the streets in London as half a million teachers and workers are on strike throughout Britain, calling for higher wages in the largest such walkout in over a decade. Organised by the TUC, Britain's umbrella labour organisation the Trades Union Congress, the strike closes thousands of schools and severely disrupts transport. 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.
