Last year's 2.5 % pay rise for the police, agreed by the iindependent arbitration panel, was unilaterally slashed by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, to 1.9%, a real wage cut. This interference caused enormous resentment among the police. Since the 1918 strike, it has been illegal for the police to strike. So they are totally dependent on arbitration doing right by them. For the past 24 years the arbitration award has been nodded through. Last year Smith used her veto. Police Federation Chair Jan Berry said members felt 'betrayed.'
Milions of workers came out on strike in defence of their pensions. This was the biggest such action for decades. The fight goes on!
