From April 2012 you start paying more in pension contributions, while your pay is being frozen and you're also being asked to work longer to get less when you finally do retire. The vast majority of teachers' unions have rejected the Government's pension proposals and the NUT stands willing to work with any and all of those unions. Click here |

Joint e-petition on pensions
As part of the campaign in defence of our pensions the NUT and NASUWT have set up an e-petition on HM Government's website. The petition calls on the Government to enter into genuine negotiations with us about the Teachers' Pension Scheme. If we are to get the negotiated settlement we are working flat out to achieve, the Government must accept that further discussions and additional funding from the Treasury are needed.
Please support the petition. It only takes a minute or two to sign up here.
If the petition attracts over 100,000 signatures there should be a debate in Parliament about it, where the Minister would have to come and explain the Government's actions. So once you've signed please share the petition link as widely as possible.
