A useful overview of public service pension reforms

This week will be a momentous one in the history of UNISON - with the results of the pensions industrial ballot being announced on Thursday. An impressive research briefing on reform of the UK's six largest public sector pension schemes has been published by the Commons Library. Three of the schemes include UNISON members being balloted for action - the Civil Service, NHS and the Local Government Pension Scheme (The Armed Forces, Police and Teachers being the others) http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/research/briefing-papers/SN05768
