2:31 pm
workers for here for twenty four hours of industrial action they're responding to provide changes to pay at pensions thousands of teachers civil servants at border control officers say the plans mean more work for a reduced pension and. moscow points to double standards of the web over the organization's position on syria saying the crisis warrants a peaceful solution foreign minister sergey lavrov says the security council should not be calling for action all ignoring what he describes as a civil war in india. and next we talk to british union leader mark so what guy who says public sector workers won't stop until they achieve 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.
2:32 pm
he's head of the public and commercial services union he's three hundred thousand members are walking out the 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 drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of the biggest 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 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 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 has to be respected for example they didn't
2:33 pm
see it it looks like they might be able to afford teachers or nurses the u.k. economy is in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy for fifteen 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 built 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 then 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 just attack on working people. but how do you think that strikes your pacing will affect the government and the ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that happens hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start finish to the government
2:34 pm
is if they try to ignore will 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 realize 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 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 the 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 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 rising the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have
2:35 pm
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 topping 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 mentioned the private sector and 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 sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing probably 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 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're being exploited by their shareholders and by their company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels up and not cut down to the worst
2:36 pm
similarly what would you expect in terms of pension reform when i personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when devaluation of public sector pension schemes say they cost and last because that'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. 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 won't negotiate when they could be millions of people so they can strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of
2:37 pm
thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be pro lexically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred or five hundred thousand people three months ago transformed the political mood in this country all of a march going to our viewers will walk it 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 it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they've seen for example keeping alive 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 said they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to them and the crisis that we're seeing in
2:38 pm
the me was caused by a reckless financial services sector do you think there's political will to create a more disposable banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the carbon twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with taxes although you go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe 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 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 millionaires trousering millions more in bonuses that's got to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began person has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently the british air force commander said he needed more
2:39 pm
money to sustain a campaign in libya and also enough got it started do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster because the kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and to enjoy another war abroad while i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we have 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 i'm fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost of my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong they 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. valuable resources could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number at unison the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action that carries on. are you prepared to join
2:40 pm
us oh absolutely we have made it clear that our strike 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 the government to step up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of the apprentice and you know i want to work very closely with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making the protest the protesters as hard as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds not so welcome thank you very much. it.
