here with out here recap carol i want top stories are angry protests for the response to the greek government's guess hashmi cuts in order to secure further financial support. police fired tear gas and stun grenades that crowds of people throwing stones and stuff this. u.s. secretary of defense robert gates prepares to say goodbye to the pentagon the cia chief is taking over but critics question whether this appointment or end the war
12:31 am
is currently thriving on the internet spending which a budget. in the u.k. braces itself for a massive struck of public sector workers threatens to severely disrupt schools and transport more than half a million teachers and civil servants are staging a work out against the government's front of their pensions reason they. expect talked to british union leader mark so what can you says public sector workers won't stop until they change their goals. today i'm talking to marx to watch because he's one of the brains behind the thirtieth of june nationwide strikes in the u.k. he's head of the public and commercial services union he's three hundred thousand members are walking out of a proposed reforms to the pension scheme mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is possible to plan to cut public spending in this country just how
12:32 am
drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts that most people will have seen in their lifetime they are projected to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result we're seeing changes in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social care services everything that people have taken for granted over years is ultimately. you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there a line that has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon it looks like they might be able to afford teachers or nurses. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy for fifty consecutive years from one thousand nine hundred. deaths as
12:33 am
a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we will millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts now it will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who don't pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think make friends with us you've said that the government cuts are now really just attack working people. but how do you think that strikes your pacing affects the government and the ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that's hasn't happened in this country for decades it's a start to finish masters to the government is if they try to ignore we'll come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realise that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that
12:34 am
pressure can force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at the moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would you say. i don't think they should reduce it i'm quite clear that retirement of dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the fifth richest country in the world and so my view is public sector pensions and our pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the bottom where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rise in the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement and that could be done in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years in the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year we actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you
12:35 am
mentioned the private sector and private sector workers say that she the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing really opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important and arrive at the right level or should it be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are the cause of people. problem my message to private sector workers is they are being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels out and not cut down to the worst what you will soon like what would you accept in terms of pension reform well i personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they are costing less because that's not about pensions it's about raising
12:36 am
taxes to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally accepts they have to talk about those things then i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't like it is prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change their mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it when they could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be prolifically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transform the political mood in this country will have a march going to our viewers but what could strikes actually how exactly do you
12:37 am
think that march changed the political means is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they seem for example in a library or they understood they were part of a much much wider problem and i think that's given us confidence to move from a march to now for unions balancing members and members voting overwhelmingly for a strike so it's. clearly transforming not just people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before said they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to the crisis that we're seeing it was called certainly in part by a reckless financial services sector do you think there is political will now to creates a mall dispensable banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon twenty three multimillionaires in that when they have
12:38 am
members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with paying their taxes although you go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe that yet there is the political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview i have members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet they don't have holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million as trousering millions more in bonuses that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began britain has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the british air force commander said he needed more money to sustain a campaign in libya and also enough got it started do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster because if these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending at home and to enjoy another war abroad well i think
12:39 am
there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told there were strapped for cash everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing trident and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong and misjudged what people claim are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly and not make the situation in those countries worse as well as at the same time. take valuable resources that could go into schools and hospitals and finally your opposite number at unison the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries orders of into the autumn are you prepared to join us oh absolutely we we've made it clear that our struggle is the start of a process we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike because we want a government to set up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of the apprentice in unison and we want to work very closely with him and all the other
12:40 am
trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest the protest is as hard hitting as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds not so look thank you very much like a. meat cleaver. to lulu.
