our union won't be giving the members a vote on the new pension proposals... The crux of which is, new employees will have to work to 65 to have a pension that existing members can take at 60. Or they can still retire at 60, but with a reduced pension... There are a few good points with the proposals, the new scheme is a sixtieth not an eightieth
My wife is a teacher and the exact same deal has happened to them and they weren't consulted either. At least it's only the new members who will have prior knowledge of what they're signing up for, the govt wanted it to apply to all members originally.
