No actual firm offer has been made - just a principle of changes. I know someone who has been attending the meetings at London.
The fact still remains if you pay a pension contribution of £150.00 per month, you will be expected to pay an additional £75.00 a month. This additional money is not going to the pension fund, but is going to the government to raised an additional £900 million to offset council tax funds and a future bank melt down. It is a secondary tax on public sector employees.
A friend of mine was actually in London to vote on the industrial action, post the result, having discussed the givernment's latest dialogue. He told me not one person clapped or cheered when the ballot result was read out. This is the last resort and not what anyone wants.
