British rail workers have warned the coalition government that they will stage a nationwide general strike

British rail workers have warned the coalition government that they will stage a nationwide general strike to stop the Conservative-led coalition condemning the next generation to poverty.

Trade Union Congress (TUC) was urged by rail union RMT’s AGM in a unanimous vote to to organise a Britain-wide walkout.
London Underground delegate John Reid, “We are going to hand over worse conditions to our children and grandchildren”.
He added, “The working class are being made to pay for the bankers’ crisis. Our social wage, won by our forefathers and mothers, is being stripped from us”.
General secretary Bob Crow agreed that government austerity policies “are not about paying back the debt but changing society.”
He said, “This government never wanted the NHS, council housing or education for all and now they want to destroy it”.
