Half a million people were on strike: the largest rally in more than 10 years took place in London
Workers are dissatisfied with the level of wages.
On Wednesday, February 1, teachers, drivers, border guards, as well as employees of airports and seaports protested in London. About half a million people took to the streets of the capital of Great Britain, demanding higher wages.
Due to the mass protest, schools were closed and the schedule of transport was changed, according to Euronews.
The British Congress of Trade Unions called this the biggest strike since 2011.
“We're on strike because we've actually had our pay cut over the last 10 years,” said Graham, one of the protesters.
