Up to half a million British teachers, civil servants, train drivers and university lecturers will strike on Wednesday in the largest coordinated action in a generation which the government says will cause widespread disruption.

The mass walkouts will see schools close, the military on standby to help at Britain's borders, and no rail services running across much of the country.

General Strikes are always disruptive, but who wants to take rights away from workers besides the Ultra Rich and their hired Politicians??
 
Unlike 1979, it seems like the public is angrier at the way the government is handling the strikers than they are at the strikers themselves. Hopefully. this is just a short term strike, long enough to cause pain to those in charge, but not so long that it causes any great pain to the general public.
