Public sector workers accused the Chancellor of treating them with “utter contempt” as more than 40,000 striking teachers, doctors and civil servants rallied on budget day.
Members of the National Education Union travelled from up and down the country to attend the Save Our Schools demo, marching from Speakers’ Corner to Trafalgar Square in central London on the first of a two-day walkout.
They were joined by members of the British Medical Association on the final day of a 72-hour junior doctors’ strike and members of the Public and Commercial Services Union, who also staged walkouts on Wednesday.
