"Over more than a year, ministers have refused to budge from their entirely unnecessary and politically-motivated attempt to force public servants to pay more and work longer for a worse pension.
"They have consistently refused to listen to the genuine concerns of their staff and others, and have refused to negotiate on the key issues that brought two million people out on strike last November.
Ministers' obstinacy means we have this ludicrous charade of what is now our fourth 'final' offer, with previous ones being desperate attempts to avert strikes and a failed bid to bounce us into accepting an arbitrary deadline before Christmas.
We will continue to talk to other unions about planning further widespread co-ordinated industrial action and there is as much reason as ever for our members to vote in our consultation ballot to reject these spiteful cuts."
