TUC backs co-ordinated strikes
The TUC has voted at its annual Congress to support co-ordinated strike action over a public sector pay freeze.
But Downing Street said it would not be reversing the policy and rejected calls to re-open talks on pay or pensions.
The coalition has frozen public sector pay for three years, calling it vital to help drive down the budget deficit.
