Bravo Public Sector Workers in Britain
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13967580
<snip>
About half of all state schools in England and Wales are being affected by a strike by UK public sector workers.

Picket lines have been set up as three teaching unions join Public and Commercial Services union members such as jobcentre and border control staff to protest at planned pension changes.

A march and rally is also taking place in central London.

The government says the plans are "fair to taxpayers" and other trade unions are continuing with negotiations.

Along with the opposition, it has condemned the strike action, although Labour leader Ed Miliband has accused ministers of mishandling negotiations with the unions.
