Despite making noises of compromise, Alexander said the government had "contingency plans" in case of strikes.

Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls

unions warned not to fall into George Osborne "trap" to hit. The Chancellor was waiting for unions to take collective action, Balls said, so he could blame the weak economic recovery in the strikes. "This is not a political union, it's really their members feel very upset, George Osborne, is desperate to have this confrontation -. It has been said for months, the unions should not fall into the trap of giving, George Osborne, the. confrontation that wants to divert attention from an economy in crisis. "

Strikes will not make this problem go away, we must act now. If we do not act now, is that children will pay the piper, and it is wrong. "

When asked if he would like to see the Labour leader Ed Miliband, the new recommendations, Lord Hutton said: "I want to approve the report was, yes, because I think is the only event to strike the balance. "

The government wants to increase the age at which women qualify for a state pension from 60 to 65 in 2018, two years ahead of schedule by the Labour government.

"We are moving towards an unprecedented burden placed on the next generation will have to pay the retirement of their parents in the upper part of the national debt is not right.

Three unions are due to strike on June 30, but the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said that end the strike if the government is prepared to discuss the level of increases pension contributions.

response to a warning shot

"trap", Serwotka said: "The problem with what Ed is saying is this: if I, on behalf of individuals, many of which are £ 15,000 per year - working hard, are paid poverty, do not expect a big pension If all this is taken and to work longer, pay more for less, which frankly is supposed to do. ? Is it supposed to sit, say it is unfair and do nothing? "

Prentis, whose union represents people who work for local authorities, the NHS, schools and police said he had not yet voted on their members on the steps, but that if they continued "to be treated with contempt."
"If we return to negotiations on the basis of dialogue, but no change in the proposals, what is the point in all this?" told the BBC.
