Your pension is under attack, the government wants to change the price increase from Retail Price Increases RPI to Consumer Price Increases CPI. This will reduce the value of your pension in retirement or if you leave education.
Do not let this happen, support the activities to get government to re-think. Contact your MP to object and support the Early Day Motion EDM1032.
Why is the government doing this? It wants to save money from your pension to reduce the country deficit in a short time. This deficit was and is still being incurred due to the global financial crisis, but the bankers bonus of £7m is not being touched.
