If the offered deal is not accepted by unions in regard to public sector pensions, then 5,500 non-urgent operations cancellation, airport extended delays and shut down of complete Northern Ireland’s public transport system is confirmed.

This means there would be a complete loss of £500mn to the nation’s economy. Due to which, the Government is busy making the union heads agree with the offered agreement.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander said he has been urging the union heads to make assure that their tabled offer is being accepted by all their members. Otherwise, they would witness the biggest loss that has never been witnessed by the country before.

Alexander said the deal is not at all bad and rather they should understand the fact that if they would not accept the deal, which is quite liberal in the nature, then the Government might cancel the negotiation process.

This Wednesday would see whether the unions involved have agreed to the Government’s decision. In total, 33 unions have been involved which have more than two million workers working under them and in addition, there are 18,000 immigration officials as well.

If strike happens then all these people would go on an in definite strike and loss would be out of count, said Alexander. He further affirmed, “The strike action... is both a distraction to that process and also a risk to it in the sense that, obviously, part of going on strike will harden opinions on the union side”.

There are rising fears that they if this strike happens then union heads would not be able to make other members agree with the deal as workers tend to opt a stern role against the ruling party.

Positive news is that till now, many union heads have liked the proposal and they have given assurance to make their members agree with eth proposal, informed Alexander.
