Inflation in the UK is paralyzing every aspect of life. It rose to 10.1% in March. Food inflation jumped to 19.1% in the same month. That's the sharpest increase since 1977. Now workers of all core sections of the public sector are taking to the streets, demanding better pay to be able to cope with the worst cost of living crisis in decades. The British government said it will implement a new pay-deal covering more than a million nurses after a majority of unions voted for the offer. However, other nursing-unions have rejected the deal while teachers' unions are talking about ratcheting up their walk-outs this year. With the UK government resistant to union-demands so far, May could be a busy month for strikers.
