Britain's biggest unions put weight behind plan for general strike
Unite and Unison back mass action for the first time since 1926
Plans for the first general strike in modern British history have been
backed by the country's two biggest unions.
The proposed 24-hour walkout would be the first time since 1926 that
private and public-sector workers have co-ordinated a nationwide mass action
. The tactic, which would represent a significant escalation to the unions'
protests against the Coalition's austerity measures, will be discussed at the
meeting of the Trades Union Congress's general council this month.
