Unions will resist harsh cuts in public spending
7 June 2010
"Today, Mr Cameron tried to soften up the country for severe cuts that will inevitably hit public services and jobs, and will devastate local economies for many years to come.
"We do not accept that cutting the public sector is the right course of action to get the UK out of recession. The government should be creating jobs, not forcing thousands of its own workforce onto benefits.
"The message from us is clear. We will work with other trade unions where we can to campaign in workplaces and in our communities, to vigorously oppose these politically-driven cuts that will make public sector workers pay for an economic crisis caused by speculation on the financial markets."
