Complaining they'll have to work until they are 65 before they collect their guaranteed pension. We will all probably have to do that anyway, as Brownstuff will be taxing us to the hilt to pay for the aforementioned pensions. And so the vicious circle continues. And Brownstuffs "solution"? More civil servants. Hmmm. Something tells me he hasn't really thought this thing through.
Of course, if you don't like it you can alwaysHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain... -
I heard they have this 85 rule. Only need to do 25 years service to claim full, index linked, final salary pension IIRC
WTF?
If any of us wanted such a pension we would have to stuff about £3K a month into a pension. Greedy, fecking lazy tulipes.
Sack em all and send the work to India.Comment

And you'll all no doubt be delighted to know that 26% of your council tax goes on providing the pensions for ex-council work and the percentage is likely to increaseComment

The "85 Rule" says you can retire if service + age => 85. What these clowns are striking for is actually the right to preferential treatment. Very socialist...Blog? What blog...?Comment

excep that civil servants, doctors, teachers etc all have this right as well. i.e. retire at 60 on full pension, no 85 rule needed either."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Thanks,

Whether or not the package is overly generous, is not the point: a deal was made, and the unions want it to be kept for existing workers, who made that deal.
Wish I could say I'm stunned that a load of people on this board would prefer to renege on the deal if there was a few quid in it for them.Comment

I've spent years saying to permies who complain about contract rates, that the choice is there for them too: go contracting yourself if you like, nobody's stopping you.
Likewise, you lot could have been civil servants, doctors, teachers (well some of you), local government workers, nobody stopped you from doing it. So don't now bitch about the rewards for those who do.Comment
