<p>The Prime Minister is set for a historic meeting with union leaders on Monday amid growing anger over public sector spending cuts and thousands of job losses.</p>
<p>Sources told the Press Association that David Cameron has invited leaders of the biggest unions in the country as well as the TUC for talks in Downing Street.</p>
<p>Union sources said it will be the first official meeting between a Tory Prime Minister and the leaders of the union movement in 25 years.</p>
<p>The last official meeting was at the end of the miners&#8217; strike in 1985 when the then TUC general secretary Norman Willis met Margaret Thatcher.</p>
<p>In his seven years in Downing Street, John Major never officially met the TUC although he did meet individual union leaders privately.</p>
<p>The meeting between the Prime Minister and the union delegation will mark the end of a long cold war between the Tories and the unions, sources said.</p>
<p>It is believed that Len McCluskey, newly elected leader of Unite, the biggest union in the country, is among those invited to the meeting.</p>
<p>The news comes as unions gear up for a campaign against the spending cuts, with the TUC planning a huge demonstration in London next March.</p>
<p>It is understood that the meeting has been planned for some time, with items for discussion including the economy and the impact of the spending cuts.</p>
<p>Mr McCluskey has praised the &#8220;magnificent student movement&#8221; that has seen tens of thousands of young people take to the streets to protest at the Government&#8217;s plans for higher tuition fees, and warned that unions have to prepare for a &#8220;battle&#8221; over the cuts.</p>
