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 things worse you've said that the government. just attack working people but how do you think the strikes. affects the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to the government 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. 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 i'm quite clear
12:32 pm
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 first richest country in the world 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 raw using 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 example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years. where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year would actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you 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 the opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority. people actually believe the public sector pensions are important to
12:33 pm
arrive at the right level 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's problems my message to private sector workers is they're 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 would do except in terms of pension reform what 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're costing less 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 and 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 accept they have to talk about those things and i believe the industrial action is going to take
12:34 pm
place you have said in fact that the government doesn't like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your 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 there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another 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 poetically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people transformed the political mood in this country. our view is about what could strikes actually do how exactly do you think that march changed the 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 the confidence that however small the community and i have a small they see me for example people. they understood they were part of
12:35 pm
a much much wider problem and i think that's giving us confidence to move from a march to a strike so it's clearly transforming 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 in the main it was called. reckless financial sector do you think there is political will now to create a more responsible banking community. or i would always question whether. the. twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with. all the 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 caused but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview members on
12:36 pm
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 trousering millions more in bonuses to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently. he needed more money to sustain in libya and. do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these 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've been told that. everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya wrong. what people claim that.
12:37 pm
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 opposite number. the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action. are you prepared to join us we want more and more people to be involved 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. and we want to work very closely with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people protest the protest is possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds thank you very much.
