What is the impact on the pension funds of early retirement being used as a way of reducing staffing levels?

Its just a pity there were no strikes when Brown destroyed the pension schemes of millions of private sector workers who are thousands of pounds out of pocket when they retire

Well said Jay, I am finding it very hard to support those Public Sector Workers, after all I don't have a pension, thanks to successive governments, screwing the country, especially the one eyed idiot we had recently. It is the humble tax payer paying the pensions here, when the majority of us don't have a pension provided.

The thing is that Private sector workers are being robbed because of Brown rifling private pensions, and those that are affected are also being asked to contribute, through their taxes for, to public sector pension schemes, think its time to move into the real world really. Just a note one of the Union Leaders calling this strike has £26,000 a year paid into his gilt edge pension fund on top of his £135,000 a year salary, nice work if ya can get it

I don't think the NAS/UWT are on strike .

There are too many teachers' unions . They used to spend more time squabbling amongst themselves , especially the NUT and the NAS/UWT .

There should be one professional teachers' body representing all teachers . They might be listened to more readily if such was the case .

They were all robbed in the 80s by "Pension Holidays" yet this was completely ignored under the guise of "Massive Surplus" in the funds, yet anyone wi any oil in there lamp was under no illusion what would happen in the future.:rolleyes:

the thing is its not just about pensions its about job cuts which are going to effect the most vulnerable,the young in society as i tell you we havent seen anything yet.outsourcing contracts to companies who will be making profits for the shareholder which will cost more in the long run .

You can't let it lie can you ? Any platform to get your petulant opinions across ! The issue is about striking teachers (although the title mentions other public servant) TJ's, Jane Norman (whoever they are ?), Habitat, Curries & Thorntons, remind me again just when they began teaching or failing that when they became part of the Public sector ?

Make your mind up will you lad ! The despised private sector with it's evil managers employing thousands (but exploiting the masses) or the benificient public sector ousting thousands of poor workers, cutting services but maintaining the extravagant levels of pay to managers & ne'er do wells !

Careful you don't bruise your plums as you straddle that fence. :rolleyes:
