Aug. 2 (Bloomberg) -- More than 11,000 Fijian teachers, cleaners, nurses and public servants went on strike today over cuts to pay and the retirement age since the military staged a coup in the Pacific island nation last December.

Fiji's civil servants have been warned that their wages could be docked if they were found to have supported an anti-coup protest organised by cyber activitists.
