Support from scientists for strike over public sector pensions

Scientists and managers at around 400 public sector institutions are expected to go out on strike on 30 November in support of the trade union campaign against proposed changed in their pension rights.

Science workers’ union Prospect predicts that an overwhelming majority of the 32,000 specialists and managers that it represents will stay away from work or attend picket lines outside government departments, executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies.
