Our industrial action ballot over unnecessary and damaging plans to make public sector workers work longer, pay more and get less in their retirement, closes on Thursday 3 November. See what the changes mean to you here.Everyone entitled to vote should have received their ballot paper by now - find yours at home and post it back - don't delay. Vote Yes today. It's important that you use your vote. We know that those who are against us will argue that any abstention is a No vote and means you're in favour of the attacks on your pension. Don't give them that excuse!So act now and vote Yes to defend your pension. And forward this e-mail to your work colleagues and friends. If you haven't received your ballot paper, or if you need a replacement, remember you've got until midday on 31 October to call the ballot hotline on 0845 355 0845.
Separating the pensions facts from the right wing fiction:
If closed today the LGPS could still pay all its liabilities for 20 years.
The Treasury gets £2bn more in NHS pension contributions than it pays out in benefits.
The average Local Government pension is £4,000 pa - hardly gold plated.
The average NHS pension is £7,000 per annum - again hardly gold plated.
Half of NHS women pensioners receive less than £3,500 per annum.
The bosses of Britain's largest companies have an average pension 34 times bigger than the average public sector pension
