More than 120 schools in Birmingham have closed as thousands of council workers stage a 24-hour strike.
Up to 20,000 staff voted to strike over plans to restructure pay bands. Unions have claimed they were not consulted.
The walkout has also forced the closure of about 20 libraries and around 10 leisure centres and there have been no bin collections.

The restructuring of pay bands could help 45% of those affected. However, according to the article, some others could lose 18,000 pounds. Therefore, council workers decided to strike without the consultation of the union. It will cause a headache for some, but for the children, it will be like a second Christmas.
