Pensions campaign
November 30th Day of Action- Well done everybody!!
Our pensions are under attack and we must mobilise now to protect them. The government's strategy on pensions is clear they want us to:
- pay more
- work longer
- and get less when we retire.
The key threats are
- Higher pension contributions
- Increases in retirement age
- All 27 of the Hutton Commission recommendations - closing the current schemes and creating new ones
- The end of pension protection if you face privatisation
- The change to annual pension increases will be calculation from RPI to CPI
Public service pension schemes have around 7.3 million pensioners and approximately 5.4 million active members. Including dependants 20 million people are with us in the fight to defend public sector pensions.
It's time for everyone to get involved - just remember no one person can do everything, but every one of us can do something!
Every UNISON branch that has members saving in a public sector pension scheme must make sure they have at least one pension champion and workplace pension contacts.
Three things for you to do today
- Sign up to be a UNISON pension contact or champion
- Ask a fellow UNISON member to do the same
- Ask a non-member to join UNISON today
Do you see yourself as a champion? You can help by becoming a UNISON branch pensions champion
