PCS and other trade unions will challenge the government’s reduction in the value of new pension schemes for civil servants and millions of public service workers in the High Court in November.
It has now been confirmed that the government has quietly changed the outcome of the 2016 pension scheme valuations which means it is making scheme members pay for the shambles it has made of their pensions.
Melanie was devastated at repeatedly having to walk away from promotions within DWP because managers couldn’t offer her the work pattern she needed for health reasons. As part of our feature focusing on membership, she tells us how her PCS rep helped her.
PCS has welcomed an agreement that members of the firefighters’ pension scheme, whose pension payments do not comply with the McCloud pension ruling, can expect to have them rectified within 90 days.
For pensions awareness week, which starts today, we’re highlighting the McCloud judgment which ruled that the government’s 2015 public sector pension scheme reforms unlawfully treated pension scheme members differently based upon their age.
