Daily Mail, UK - Britain is on the brink of a series of crippling co-ordinated strikes, with more than a million union members planning to bring the country to a standstill.
Key workers, ranging from teachers to tax officials, university lecturers and coastguard controllers, will walk out on June 30.
Other strikes are likely to follow over the coming months as unions vent their fury at the Government’s programme of spending cuts.
The country’s biggest civil servant union, the Public and Commercial Services Union, is today expected to vote overwhelmingly to ballot for a national strike.
The unprecedented action by around 680,000 teachers will close almost every school in England
