UNISON launches ballot over pension proposals

UNISON is set to ballot its 1,000 members in the Principal Civil Service

Pension Scheme (PCSPS) over the Government’s proposals for a new pension

scheme.

The ballot will begin on the 3rd April and close on 24 April. Those balloted

include a broad range of scheme members including Ofsted inspectors, police

ombudsmen in Northern Ireland, Welsh Government workers representing

children in court and in regeneration and sustainability, Innovation officers in

education in Scotland as well as meat hygiene inspectors across the UK.

Members will be asked if they want to accept or reject the proposed pension

proposals that UNISON believes are the best that can be achieved through

negotiations.
