Currently at the inspiring pensions conference called by PCS Left Unity. Great range of speakers and contributions from the floor. The main points have been the importance of maintaining the unity of the movement and ensuring that members are not forced to accept a deal which will make them work longer, pay more and get less.
The case has been strongly made that members who have taken strike action and lost a days pay in order defend their pensions deserve the support of their unions. It would be unacceptable to settle for what is essentially the same deal that was rejected through mass action on November 30th.
A joint statement is being agreed by the meeting now and will be posted asap.
