Pensions Justice - Day of Action 30 November 2011


Stand up for a better way

Find out about the Wales TUC campaign for an alternative to the UK Government's cuts, what people around Wales are saying about their impact on families and communities and why there is a better way here http://standupforabetterway.org/

Public sector pensions are under attack.The UK government wants to make people pay more and work longer for a lot less. Despite hours of talks, UK government ministers have yet to seriously negotiate. Unions want proper negotiations. We have done fair deals before. That is why the TUC has called a day of action for pensions justice on November 30.

Please see our events page for details of the events happening across Wales as part of the day of action on 30 November. Please also see our campaign website www.standupforabetterway.org where you can register for updates and contact local campaign co-ordinators. You can also get updates from www.twitter.com/walestuc and www.facebook.com/walestucabetterway.
