J30 Protests
The J30 Protests were a one-day strike held in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2011. The strike was held by public sector workers in an effort to protest the government's planned uncoventional changes to pension plans and retirement policies, including raising the retirement age from 60 to 66 and the replacing of final salary pension schemes with a career-average system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=STRIKE: Gwent hit by day of action (From South Wales Argus) )〕 The Driving Standards Agency had recently announced that it was to launch a localised trial to determine whether delivering examiners from ''non-established'' test centres could help with growing pupil demand, starting in Warrington, Wiltshire, Ayrshire, Wales and Dumbarton.〔(TRL – Majority of driving examiners 'attended work during strikes' – Latest Transport News – Transport News – TRL News Hub )〕
In the one-day strike, pickets and a series of anti-cuts rallies by the National Union of Teachers (NUT), Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), University and College Union (UCU) and the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) went ahead largely as planned. Over 11,000 schools in England were affected by the strike, according to the data released by the Department for Education (DfE).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Public sector strikes come and go, but is this the beginning of a longer battle? )〕〔 Nearly 400 schools were closed in greater Birmingham and the Black Country, with another 70 partially shut. According to union reports, across the rest of England, 3,200 schools were shut and 2,200 were partially closed, out of about 22,000 state-funded schools. Only 18 out of 750 Jobcentre Plus offices in the country were closed due to the lack of strike activity by their staff, while 90% of the civilian call centre staff at the Metropolitan Police did strike. The Coastguard also reported some minor walkouts.〔 According to the Department for Transport, some 76 per cent of driving examiners went to work.〔 Approximately 180 prison office staff and workshop instructors mounted a picket line outside HMP Gartree Prison near the town of Market Harborough. The event was officially called the "J30"〔 after the date it was held on.
==Greater London==
The main march and Trades Union events were in central London on the 30th and attracted 15,000 to 20,000 people to their cause.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pension talks fail to stop strikes – National )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Overtime ban follows day of strikes (From Banbury Cake) )〕 At one point public service employees marched past Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster during their rally. There were marches and picket lines across London including at the Old Bailey.〔 Camden Town and Marylebone saw a few Camden Council employees hold a local strike and picket over the council's employment terms. There were queues at Border Control in Heathrow Airport's Terminal Five as some of the immigration and customs staff joined the strike. Pickets targeted the head office of the department for Communities and Local Government in central London and stopped around 20 people from crossing one of the picket lines at Eland House.〔(CLG head office hit by strikes | Local government network | Guardian Professional )〕
There were 35 arrests in central London and 2 in outer London. Arrests were made in Whitehall as police and protesters clashed.
