<p><br /> Trade union leaders are calling for a mass demonstration against Government cuts.<br /> </p><p><br /> The TUC says it hopes as many as a million people will join in "a huge event" planned for March 26 - and they say strikes could form part of co-ordinated protests.<br /> </p><p><br /> Union chiefs reject claims they are planning a general strike, but have agreed to work together to maximise opposition to David Cameron's plans for spending cuts.<br /> </p><p><br /> TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "No one is talking about a general strike, but of course these attacks on our members could well give rise to industrial action around specific disputes."<br /> </p><p><br /> "Today's meeting was to consider the appropriate industrial response to the volatile cocktail of issues that face union members across the public sector - the pay freeze, job cuts and attacks on pensions."<br /> </p><p><br /> Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, said: "After the protest I hope the government will sit down and change direction.<br /> </p><p><br /> "I think that's highly unlikely and what's happening today at the TUC is that we're making contingency plans to ensure that if, as a last resort, we cannot change their mind we are preparing to plan industrial action."<br /> </p>
