This month will see strikes from several unions including RMT and PCS, with disruptions to civil service, rail service and more - here are all the strike dates planned in April

As strikes continue across the country, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to keep track of who is striking and when. April will see several strikes from RMT, junior doctors, civil and public servants and driving examiners, taking industrial action over pay and working conditions.

As the fourth month of the year starts, and with days getting longer and warmer, April 1 sees RMT members from 14 train operators walk out on the first strike of the month. And 10 days later, junior doctors across England begin four  days of industrial action.
