http://www.unison.org.uk/pensions/protectour.asp UNISON has announced that members have voted decisively
in favour of taking industrial action to defend their pensions which are an
important part of their terms and conditions of employment. Following a ballot
of 1.1 million members with nearly 80 per cent in support
of the proposal for action. Government ministers put forward plans to increase
pension contributions ( in some cases by as much as 50 per cent); to reduce
pension benefits and to increase the age at which pensions can be drawn.
This comes on top of a wage freeze – many of our members have not had a
pay rise for the last two years, despite rising inflation. For more information
