BBC News - RMT boss issues a 'call to arms'

RMT union boss Bob Crow will call for a "generalised strike" to resist government spending cuts, claiming his union is "up for a fight".

Speaking at the union's annual conference later, the rail union leader will issue a "call to arms".

He will urge the entire labour movement to hold a sustained campaign of strikes across both the public and private sector.

He will also urge direct community action to defend public services.

Mr Crow, one of the most outspoken union leaders, will call for action to prevent "fiscal fascism being unleashed by this ConDem government".

A "generalised strike"? Is that the opposite of specificated?

I think this is a (slightly modified) example of Zappas law
