so when len mccluskey democratic process. so when len m cclus key of democratic process. so when len mccluskey of one of the biggest unions, if not the biggest, says i would back illegal strikes, do you think that's unwise? yes, i think it is very unwise. is he notjust standing upfor is very unwise. is he notjust standing up for his members who haven't had a pay rise for seven yea rs ? haven't had a pay rise for seven years? no, he is standing up for his political beliefs i think he is trying to push forward the union as a political force, not trying to push forward the union as a politicalforce, not something trying to push forward the union as a political force, not something for his members. it is not true that nobody had a pay rise. people have carried on getting pay rises of the it is important to stress... in real terms? it means a new person coming in is not starting at a higher rate. we know it is a cut. when you compare, at the moment, with inflation? no, that's not the case. you are getting, the pay cap applies to what the level of a new person starting. it does

mccluskey has been very vocal about today? yes. we seconded the motion here yesterday, unanimously carried. we called for co—ordinated industrial action against the whole of the public sector if the government doesn't use the budget to scrap the pay cap, put money into the public sector, to increase budgets and allow for above inflation pay rises. members working injob centres, courts inflation pay rises. members working in job centres, courts and inflation pay rises. members working injob centres, courts and prisons had seven years of pay cuts, £3,500 worse off in real terms. any pay rise this year that is less than inflation is a further pay cut. we are balloting all of our members next month on the question of industrial action to see whether they are prepared to take action if they are prepared to take action if the government don't change course. imean the government don't change course. i mean shall i was talking to someone from the tax payers' alliance who said on average a public sector worker was 10% better off tha

i was struck this week to see that len mccluskey, or perhaps mahatma, as his friends call him, had said, if they need to act outside the law, so be it. i have to say that ijoin my honourable friend on this side of the house. we are very clear, we condemn illegal strikes and action outside of the law. the people who suffer from these strikes are the ordinary working families who can't get their children to school, who can't access the public services they need, and who can't get to work. once again the price of labour is paying for ordinary working families. owing to recent changes to maternity services in my constituency, a vastly increased number of pregnant mothers are having to make and over 200 mile return trip to give birth. you can imagine how dangerous it is in the depths of a highland winter. while i recognise this as a devolved matter, but i nevertheless ask the prime minister for advice but i nevertheless ask the prime ministerfor advice as to but i nevertheless ask the prime minister for advice as to how i can help sort out this desperate situation? , said the honourable gent
