There are different schemes for the civil service, teachers, health service, local government and other public sector workers. However, they are all facing similar changes – higher retirement ages, higher employee contributions and a change to the level of protection against inflation. The government is so far unwilling to move on these fundamental points. The TUC union confederation is involved in the talks with government and will be co-ordinating the 29 unions whose members are covered by the public sector schemes (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 4 April, May and June 2011).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcs.org.uk\u002Fen\u002Fnews_and_events\u002Fnews_centre\u002Findex.cfm\u002Fid ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.unison.org.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fnews_view.asp?did=7063\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
