CSCS ruling You may have seen this week that Mr Justice McCombe agreed that our members had accrued their redundancy terms and that these shouldn't be interfered with, however he refused to rule that ministers had acted unlawfully in trying to impose new redundancy terms as they saw this as a legitimate way of tackling the deficit. We're seeking further legal advice on a challenge and further information will be circulated as we get more.
Relaunched pensions calculator
Earlier this week we relaunched our pensions calculator - www.pcs.org.uk/pensions to take account of the contribution increases announced by the government recently. We have produced detailed technical notes to inform members about the calculations. Please can you get the new calculator out to all your networks and encourage reps and members to use it.
