YOU may not be familiar with the strike at Wakefield's National Coal Mining Museum where 40 staff have walked out over a derisory pay rise offer of 80p an hour.

And unless you live in Sheffield you probably haven't heard about Unite members striking at Veolia for union recognition by the French-owned refuse company. That's despite them being out for more than a year, and workers from across the world turning up to show support for their struggle to gain the most basic of rights.

But there's a good chance you may have heard about two Premier League footballers who downed tools after claiming their clubs reneged on promises to let them leave and fill their boots elsewhere.
