Momentum builds for pensions strike

The result of the biggest-ever strike ballot carried out by a union in the UK will be known on 3 November. Millions of workers are to be balloted to strike on November 30 on what is shaping up to be the biggest day of industrial action since the 1926 General Strike. The country's biggest union Unison, which represents public sector workers, is balloting its entire one million-plus membership for the first time, with 9,500 employers affected.
