Britain is facing a month of unprecedented strike action this winter.
Hundreds of thousands of public sector workers are walking off the job.
The situation has become so serious that the government may ask the military to help keep services running.
Workers say low pay and poor working conditions leave them unable to deal with the rising cost of living.
The government described the strikes as 'unnecessary'.
So what led to this situation?
