There is widespread concern after British Airways and the Post Office joined Southern Rail in striking over the Christmas period.

Share Radio’s Matt Cox investigated this new era of strike action with industrial action expert Professor Chris Rowley, Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College, University of Oxford, and Professor Emeritus at Cass Business School.
