If you have been a UNISON member, you can become a retired member for a one-off payment of just £15. Talk to your branch branches.unison.org.uk

I have joined the long list of people sharing their opinions on what the pension commissioners should get up to over the next year and a half. Although obviously the main point of discussion for everyone who knows me is 'how old is that headshot??'

🚨 Prospect research reveals women lose out on £7,600 a year in retirement.

A 36.5% gender pension gap – that's double the gender pay gap.

This inequality is unacceptable. Government must take real action now to close the gap.
Gender gap means retired women ‘have four months a year with no pension’
Income inequality means women in effect stop receiving a pension from 21 August, union leaders say

Big opportunity for the government to shape pensions policy for decades to come.

Vital that they show plenty of ambition.
The biggest review of pensions in a generation is underway.
We're want:
💷 Decent pensions for all.
☀️ A just transition to a thriving low-carbon economy.
🚫 A phase-out of funding for fossil fuels, deforestation and other harmful industries.
