Strikes By Council Employees

I would like to request the following information for the period 1 January 2023 to 1 January 2024. The cumulative total of days of work lost due to strikes by council workers/employees. Days should be defined by the number of officials who took strike action times by the number of days those officials engaged in strike action. If unable to provide days, please provide number of council officials took strike action in this period and the number of days that council staff engaged in strike action. 

For the period 1 January 2023 to the 1 January 2024, the cumulative total days of work lost due to strikes by Council workers/employees was 3,084 days. This number accounts for the number of officials that engaged in strike action and the number of days for which those officials engaged in strike action.
