Scheme members to march on Downing Street
UK - Scheme members left out of pocket when their employers' scheme failed are to march on Downing Street to demand government action to restore their lost retirement savings.
Sunday’s protest will be led by members of the ASW, United Engineering Forgings and Dexion pension schemes.
They will be joined by members of the Sea-Land Service Pension Plan who are fighting to have their pensions savings reimbursed after their sponsoring employer, Maersk, wound up their under-funded scheme last year.
