NHS staff have come to an agreement on new pensions.
In my opinion nothing short of what they have agreeded should be acceptable to us .
Most important being
In the job at present you retire with full benefits at 60.

My strike fund is ready and I am ready to stand and fight for what was passed down to me by those who fought for mine and your rights in days of old. This is the 21st century we should not be handing over our pensions to the likes of Crozier and Leighton. Crozier stated that he has excepted the CARE, he bloody would on £1,000,000 a year he's alright. Please remember that RM said that we had a 6.4Bn deficit then we are told by the trustees that we are 3.4Bn in deficit, they are using smoke and mirrors to scare us into excepting that they cannot keep their end of the bargain. The way that RM say we are living longer and that the stock market is sometimes fluctuating you would think that this has never happened before! p.s. working till I am 65 I will never enjoy my retirement or let alone see my pension. We must call into question the competence of L and C who have been in charge for the last few years and have seen them go cap in hand to the government for tax payers money (ours). Then they have the nerve to collect their nice wages with bonuses. F*** me who's been taken for mugs.
