public sector workers set to leave on November 30 in a row of heads of government and unions on the participation of 29%

The prospect of the biggest fight of labor disputes in recent decades Britain was to come after the country's main public sector union, Unison, voted to strike on November 30.

Unison voted 1.1 million members through the public health nurses for probation officers and librarians, who are now ready to engage teachers and health professionals for a national day of action pension reform.

union's general secretary, Dave Prentis, said the "decisive" vote reflected a deep concern about the changes. But the union exchanged blows with government ministers on the scope of its mandate, and that fewer than one in three members took part in a majority of votes in the most industrial of the United Kingdom. "Today, if I vote signals the green light for the first day of the strike, and we will unite with other unions in the TUC-coordinated day of action on November 30," said Prentis.

Unison

a vote, 750 000 workers in local government and 350 000 health workers, with 245,358 members vote in favor of the strike and 70,253 voted against a majority representing 78%.

participation of 29% were thrown on the Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude, who said he was "very limited" support for the strike.

Maude rejected the comments, saying the turnout was high for a vote of union members over a million. "This is a huge vote by any standard"

two million public sector workers could take part in the strike on November 30, with the GMB and join trade unions is also due to announce the voting results shortly.

The vote comes after the government tried to break months of deadlock in the negotiations this week. Wednesday, the ministers presented the awards, including the increased accrual rate - a measure of the rate at which pensions grow -. And the promise that anyone in the 10 years of retirement from the 1st April next year would not see a reduction in their pension pot

But they refused to return to the elements of the changes that are still angry and members of the union of files, including pensions and benefits taken to stimulate line with the index consumer prices rather than the current rate of retail price increases at a faster pace.

Fact

main union believes that the concessions came too late to prevent the day of action to advance, although the negotiations should continue until a deadline later this year.

Downing Street said the strike would be harmful. The spokesman of the Prime Minister said: "It is very disappointing and potentially dangerous is the delivery of [public service] at risk .."

The comments echoed Maude, who was involved in negotiations with unions, with Danny Alexander, the Chief Secretary of the Treasury.

Rachel Reeves, the shadow chief secretary of the Treasury, said: "We are on the side of those who depend on services that may be affected by the strike The strikes are a sign of failure and. even at this late stage, we urge the government and unions to exhaust all avenues before the strike is taken. " The deadline for action include regional meetings, but no central event like March for the Alternative, in which over a quarter of a million people took to the streets of London to cut spending in March. Instead, it is likely to focus on small screens of dissent, including demonstrations at noon to work.

"This vote is disappointing for the NHS, but most staff do not vote," said Dean Royles, Director of the organization.
"NHS staff are passionate about patient care and are reluctant to leave their jobs. This is reflected in the small number of NHS staff has happened."
