[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 232747, member: 601"] I used to work in the public sector and we went through a pension change about 12 years ago. They wanted us to contribute more for the same pension or stay the same for less of a pension (IIRC). Now I'm not saying that the pension is bad, it isn't it's blinking good considering what you pay into it... But, and here is the big BUT,,,, when you get the job you join under certain employment conditions and any change in them is hard to take especially something that makes you lose money or extends your working life. I'm sure that they know that things can't carry on the way they are, but this along with a 2 year pay freeze is going to be hard to swallow. You also have to remember that while their terms of service are pretty good, that their pay is much lower than what they could get in the private sector,,,,, I personally remember getting pay rises of 1.5% when inflation was over 5%,,, so that's effectively a pay cut then!!!!
