As of Workers Independent News air-time, trade unions in the United Kingdom are expecting over a million public sector workers to walk off their jobs Thursday in a coordinated strike against “poverty pay”, as well as concerns about pensions and workplace safety. Britain’s Trade Union Congress estimates that most public sector workers’ incomes have lost more than 4000 dollars annually following years of wage freezes. The massive strike is expected to include workers from all corners of the public sector, ranging from teachers to firefighters to civil servants.
