In the UK, teachers from three sixth form colleges in Sussex are striking over pay disparities, affecting around 8,000 students (source 2). In Canada, postal workers are continuing their strike against Canada Post, which has seen a decline of nearly 10 million parcels since the walkout began on November 15, with concerns over layoffs surfacing among union members (source 3). In Argentina, Indigenous communities are protesting against mining operations, demanding environmental rights and the resignation of a government official perceived as pro-mining, with violent government responses reported (source 4). Meanwhile, in California, CVS workers successfully ended a three-day strike after negotiating a new contract that includes wage increases and improved health benefits (source 5). These events illustrate ongoing struggles for workers' rights and community advocacy in various sectors.
