PUBLIC services across south Essex have been hit as workers walk out in a row over pensions.
Bullwood Hall Prison in Hockley, Revenue and Customs in Southend, Jobcentres and colleges in Basildon and Southend have all been affected.
The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), Prison Officers Association and Unite are among the unions nationally who are taking industrial action.
They are angry with changes by the Government to public sector pensions including the amount workers receive on retirement and a change in retirement age to 68.
