Your Pension is under attack !
Do you want to:
Work Longer? Pay More? Get Less?
• UNISON is asking its members to vote YES in the ballot for industrial action to protect public sector pensions.
• Current proposals mean that most people will pay more and work longer to get a pension that will be worth less.
• UNISON has tried to negotiate in good faith for secure and affordable pensions – but ministers won’t listen.
• Public service pay has been frozen while inflation soars. There have been widespread redundancies, cuts to pay and conditions and closures of the vital services our communities rely on.
• This unprecedented attack on pensions is the final straw.
• UNISON is balloting for strike action initially to start on 30th November. We are also working with other trade unions and community groups to organise local and national protests in support of public sector pensions.
• We need a big YES vote and a high turnout to send a clear and united message to ministers that enough is enough and to help persuade them to withdraw their current unfair and unjustified attacks on pensions.
• The ballot opens on 11 October and closes on 3 November.
• Write to your national/local paper explaining why you are voting 'Yes'(their are some templates under related for your use).
• Please spread the word so that your colleagues in UNISON vote YES in the ballot.
• There will be a ballot hotline open from 17-31 October on 0845 355 0845.
• Please vote YES to protect your pension.
