"Labour MSPs in Scotland and Labour assembly members in Wales will refuse to cross picket lines on 30 November in solidarity with millions of public sector workers. As Labour MPs and councillors we will not cross picket lines at Westminster or town halls. Instead we will be joining picket lines to do what Labour politicians should do: be on the side of labour.
The government's attack on public sector pensions is totally unjustified and unsupported by any economic or actuarial case. It is a crude attack on public sector workers who are already suffering a pay freeze while many face the threat of losing their jobs. This is part of a wider attack by this government on public services and the welfare state, which Labour must resist.
We stand in full solidarity with workers on 30 November – and encourage our fellow Labour politicians to do so too."
