FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The NASUWT stressed that before providing reforms to the pensions, the government should have settled down to an assessment of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme to determine if there was a problem with its practicability and sustainability.
The union sent a pre-action letter to the Government Actuary’s Department, the Secretary of State for Education and HM Treasury in order to start the process of judicial review. The union’s legal action was based on its arguments that the government had a legal duty to carry out a valuation of the pension reforms.
Chris Keates, the union’s general secretary, said that the government has turned a blind eye to our constant requests to make a valuation of the scheme.
“It is simply unacceptable and irresponsible for a Government to embark on changes which will have such a profound adverse impact on the financial future of teachers and their families without having evidence to demonstrate that a problem even exists,” she said.
The union leader accused the government of failing in both meeting its responsibilities to teachers and its obligation to follow the public interests. She also declared it was probably safe to assume that if a valuation would have provided evidence to back the government reforms it would have produced it.
“The failure to provide the valuation has deeply angered teachers. The NASUWT has pledged to leave no stone unturned to defend teachers and their conditions of service and if this means recourse to legal remedy the union will pursue such action,” Keates added.
