Public Sector Workers Hold Strikes Across The UK

BRISTOL, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 30: Florence Anderson, 3, from Bristol holds a placard as she prepares to march during a rally through Bristol city centre on November 30, 2011 in Bristol, England. More than 2 million public sector workers are staging a nationwide strike over cuts to their public sector pensions. The strike began at midnight leading to the closure of most state schools, disruption to rail and tunnel services, delays at border areas inside airports and ferry terminals and the postponement of thousands of non-emergency hospital operations. The TUC has said it is the biggest stoppage in more than 30 years, with hundreds of marches and rallies due to take place in cities and towns across the UK. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
