ITV News published this video item, entitled “Fresh court delays as barristers walk out on first day of strike action | ITV News” – below is their description.
Barristers in England and Wales have begun strike action in a dispute over pay and conditions.
Some crown courts across the two nations are running limited services, with criminal trials and other cases postponed or rescheduled from Monday, the first day of a walkout by thousands of lawyers.
Barristers on picket lines accused the government of not listening to their concerns about the criminal justice system, and are angry that a proposed pay rise of 15% would not kick in immediately or apply to backlogged cases.
