‘Roaring lions’ call for general strike
Union anger over the Government’s austerity drive was dramatically stepped up yesterday with calls for a general strike to show that workers were fighting back like “roaring lions”.
The TUC conference supported a move to consider the practicalities of a walkout by millions of workers as part of co-ordinated action against the coalition’s policies.
Officials made it clear that the decision did not mean that a mass strike was imminent, but should be seriously considered.
