When will they get the message!!
On the day that Shell announced it is to stop guaranteed pensions linked to final salary for new recruits, (it’s the last FTSE 100 company that still does provide them), the public service union Unite said that it was rejecting the Government’s latest pension offer for NHS workers.
When will these public sector unions, and their workers, get the message. Final salary pensions just cannot be afforded any more. The private sector has accepted it, and the public sector will have to as well.
It is invidious for private sector workers to have to go on paying towards gold-plated pensions for the public sector when they don’t get them themselves.
