Public Sector Pensions Reform

The majority of senior civil servants are in favour of MyCSP, the government's mutual for managing the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, but 80% fear there may be changes to their benefits.

The Public Service Pensions Bill 2013 will be announced in Parliament with controversy over strike action and accusations of "steamrolling".

The government "should not pay much attention" to unions' threats to strike over public sector pension and pay reforms, chief Treasury secretary Danny Alexander says.

The government has responded to union threats of a general strike by refusing any further negotiation of public sector pension and pay reform.

The Police Superintendents Association of England and Wales warns its members will take part in ‘work to rule' action over proposed reform to pay and pensions.

Secretary of State Theresa May today announced the final government position on police pensions, with it likely to move to a career average revalued earnings scheme.

Members of the Prison Officers Association have voted against the final government offer of changes to the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, objecting to the linking of the retirement age to the state pension age.

Reforms to the local government pension scheme could lead to a "significant" increase in scheme costs for private sector contractors taking over local authority services, lawyers warn.

The majority of Unison executive groups launched a campaign today urging their members to vote ‘yes' in a ballot on accepting the government's proposed reforms to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

The government may offer public servants who are transferred to private sector contractors the ability to remain in their public sector schemes.
