Your willingness to take action over your pension has forced ministers back to the negotiating table and unions are committed to taking part in meaningful talks about public service pensions. We will now be examining the new proposals in detail and moving into sector specific negotiations. However, unless and until acceptable offers are made, it is important that we keep the pressure on by preparing to take action on 30th November. By doing so all public sector unions will be standing shoulder to shoulder to fight for decent pensions. Together we are stronger, together we can win.
