On November 30th, between 2 and 3 million people across the UK will strike in protest against public sector cuts. Thousands of schools will close, causing parents to make childcare arrangements, or take their children to school. Ports and airports will be affected, with civil servants being asked to cover for Border Agency Staff. Hospitals will also suffer, with some operations being delayed, although the NHS say emergency care should be maintained.

Those striking say they're doing so in protest at government modifications to their pension scheme. The unions claim that the measures effectively mean that their members will have to work harder for longer, yet receive much less when they retire.

We want to know if you support the walkout on November 30th.
