| Annotation | In 2006, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) passed Composite resolution 6, which committed the trade union movement to work with and maximise support for the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) in campaigning to restore the link between earnings and pensions and raise the level of the basic state pension above the official poverty level. This report outlines the main points made by speakers at an NPC conference to review progress on Composite 6 and to determine the next steps of the campaign. Many of the comments referred to the Pensions Bill (2006/07 session) which would do little to meet current pensioners' needs, nor protect those at work in defending occupational pensions. The insert is the NPC's Pensioners' Charter. (RH). |
