The deficit of the Local Government Pension Scheme has more than doubled to £100bn since the scheme's last triennial valuation, a study shows.

Raising worker contribution rates for local government pension schemes would stoke a wave of industrial action and withdrawals from schemes, unions warn.

The BBC is meeting joint union officials at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service today to clarify a final point in its pension reform proposals.

The National Union of Journalists has offered to suspend further strikes at the BBC after the broadcaster offered new talks in the dispute over pensions.

Strikes at the BBC set to disrupt coverage of the Conservative party conference have been called off following an improved pension offer from the broadcasting giant.

There continues to be "overwhelming rejection" of the BBC's pension proposal, despite a revised offer from the director general, trade unions say.

Trade unions have served the BBC with strike dates that coincide with the Conservative Party conference and the government spending review, after shunning a new pensions offer from the broadcast giant.

The BBC has proposed a new career average arrangement as part of its pensions reform but is sticking with the controversial 1% annual cap for the existing final salary scheme.

BBC workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action in a row over changes to the pension scheme, trade unions say.

Strike action over pension changes at Capita Life and Pensions could have repercussions for other financial organisations, Unite warns.
