12:32 pm
members are walking out of a proposed reforms to the pension scheme mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is part of a wider plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of the biggest most people will have seen in their lifetime 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 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 yours is ultimately addressed you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there a blossom line that has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon it
12:33 pm
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 on words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we millions of houses we have schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts now if you 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 can make things worse you've said that the government cuts are now just attack working people. but how do you think this strikes your pacing will affect the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something to have this hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to the government is if they try to ignore will come back in the autumn when we may well
12:34 pm
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. i'm not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure ultimately 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 use this 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 first richest country in the world and so my view is public sector pensions and all 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 could be done in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for
12:35 pm
example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years in the tax code 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 mentioned the private sector and a lot of private sector workers say that actually the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing poorly opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important arriving at the right level or should even 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 up not cut down to the worst what you'll pull similarly what would you accept in terms of pension reform well i
12:36 pm
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 it's not about pensions it's about raising 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 and i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. from 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
12:37 pm
britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transformed the political mood in this country all of a march going to our viewers will look at strikes actually to how exactly do you think that march changed political needs is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station and it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they've seen for example keeping a library 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 ballots and members of 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 survey a poor strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to the crisis that we're seeing in the me it was called certainly in part reckless financial services sector do you think there
12:38 pm
is political will now to create a more responsible banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon was twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have cabinet members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with paying their taxes all ego clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe it yet there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich coursed but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview who goes 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 millionaires trousering millions more and they want to says that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began into a new war in a foreign country and recently the air force just said that he needed more money to sustain a campaign in libya and also. do you think there's
12:39 pm
a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and enter into another war which is what i think there is a 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. misjudged what people claim are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly 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 you office that number at unison the country's biggest unit is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries orders given to the op said are you prepared to join us oh absolutely we we've made it clear that i was struggling is the start of
12:40 pm
a process we want more and more people to be involved not because we want to be on strike because we want the 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 trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest approach this is politics it is possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds months look thank you very much like you. lose sleep sleep.
