TWO million British public sector workers joined the biggest nationwide strike in the UK in decades to protest pension cuts and increasing retirement age to 67 which could start to affect airports and sea ports across Britain.

More public sector strikes are expected in the months to come. British financial minister, of Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne has announced that all public sector workers will have their pay frozen till 2013 and then their pay rises would be capped at one per cent for two years after that.
