At conference today Mark Serwotka confimed that PCS legal challenge to the governments changes to the CSCS will be heard in the High Court 19-21st July.Furthermore he confirmed tht the Condems plans on our pensions are to move the state retirement from 65 up to 68 and possibly even further. These changes are likely to impact all workers being born after 1953. Whats more, the proposed replacement to all existing civil service pensions will have the same qualifying dates and will be significantly reduced over the existing.
It is estimated that the changes will reduce the value of CS pensions by at least 30%.
