Barristers strike: Protestors feel ‘watershed moment’ outside Royal Courts of Justice
- 2 years ago
Striking barristers gathered to protest outside the Royal Courts of Justice said they felt a “watershed moment” had been reached in their fight for better pay from the government.
Around 100 junior barristers were out in attendance in central London on Wednesday, September 28, as strikes over what they see as unsustainable working conditions continued.
It comes amid the 25th week of industrial action by the criminal bar, who want a 25% rise in legal aid fees for representing defendants who could not otherwise afford lawyers.
