Another nail in the coffin of the British working class.

Pension switch ruled lawful by High Court

The government's public sector pensions policy has been given a major boost following a High Court ruling.
Trade unions had complained about how pensions are being protected against inflation, with the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) replacing the faster-rising Retail Prices Index (RPI).
The High Court has now ruled that the government's switch was lawful.
The decision affects the value of pension increases for millions of public sector pensioners.

The workers could always pull out of the pension schemes but that would mean a lower state pension to see them through retirement and the obvious future consequence that the government, seeing the decline in contributors and the ever increasing dependancy on the state pension passing future legislation to cut the state pension further.

One hell of a mess

Not good,

True that

I said it before and I shall say it again, one day strikes are a waste of time. They should all stay on strike and bring down the government.

People simply can't afford to STEED....better the voters do it via the ballot box but that seldom happens either as we saw at the last election and others before it.

This country is spineless! You have to grasp the nettle even if it makes your hand bleed, the system is corrupt and must be removed.

‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’ (or words to that effect)

And that is what is happening.


Side note to the public sector, don't forget the MP's voted for a £40,000 a year pension back in 2001 and who was in power then? The Labour Party.

Labour are two face hypocrites, they say they are for the working man...lies.

And that makes them worst than the Conservatives as we all know where they stand.

As for the Liberals they sleep with anyone to get power.

The invite to ours for xmas lunch still stands STEED

She used the police to go in hard, using them as strike breakers.

The miners came the closes to bringing Thatcher down and I give them credit for trying and staying out as long as they did.
