The UK will be hit by strike action by some 1.5 million people on March 26th. The action will take place by Council / Local Authority Staff. This is the biggest strike in the UK since 1926. The strike could have another twist is teachers also decide to join in with the planned action.
It is over Pension Plans and that there is a major shortfall in the governments funds to pay people their pensions. The government has been trying to get people to work until they are much older which in turn would postpone the pension payments.
This strike will cause untold problems for the government and again put great pressure on Tony Blair to step down as leader.
Since Fall of 2005 Tony Blair has seen his popularity deminish and increased calls for him to step down not only from opposition parties but also from his own government ministers.
He can not hold on too much longer.
