If you had spent 15 years in a career, with relatively low pay for the job, but with the promise that at the end of your career you will get a decent pension. Then I'm sure that you would be slightly miffed. Remember 14% is a huge chunk to pay from your wages. There are many people considering pulling out of the pension scheme (which was compulsorary when I started). And if only 2% pull out, then it will actually cost the government more. ---------- Post added at 22:05 ---------- Previous post was at 22:04 ---------- Quote:

Re: Pensions - no wonder there are strikes
I have just provided figures that disprove your Union's assertion...
Again, the Local Government Pension Scheme has average employer contributions of 13.6% (according to Unite) And the NHS Pension Fund employers contributions are 14% http://www.nhsemployers.org/SiteColl..._210709_aw.pdf Teachers Pension Fund has contributions of 14.1% http://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/em...mployers13.htm They appear to be lower than 21%....... |
Re: Pensions - no wonder there are strikes
I have a private pension which I set up when I was 18 to enable me to retire at 60.

Re: Pensions - no wonder there are strikes
Depends on the scheme. NFPS is for people who stated from April 2006.

Unlike propoganda that the government puts out to discredit anyone who is in dispute with them, the FBU don't want to take industrial action, it is a last resort. The web site is there to give members the FACTS. |

The 68 year old retirement is in future plans. But as I said, for those who aren't fit enough to be operational until they are 60, they can be sacked, and won't be able to claim their pension until they are 68, because that will be the retirement age by then. |
Re: Pensions - no wonder there are strikes
Where does it say in any OFFICIAL government plans or proposals that the age is definitely to be raised to 68? All that there seems to be is a plan to look at the age, taking into account things like the nature of the work.

A) your link lead to a series of links, rather than something that specifically backed up your assertions B) you appear to take the word of a FBU campaign document rather than a number of Pension Fund websites (as well as a Unite union website) - either the FBU are being misleading, or pension funds for around six million people are; which do you think is more likely? |
Re: Pensions - no wonder there are strikes
Why can't the govenrment make it compulsory for all employeers to offer final-salary pension schemes for current and new employees?
And do give the claim that "they cannot afford it" becuase if they can pay large dividends and wages to excutives then they can afford it |
