High Court Appeal - challenge the shift from RPI to CPI
Date: Monday 20 February 2012
Time: 8.30am – 10am
Location: Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, WC1
On 20 February 2012 Unite, along with a number of other
unions will be appealing the High Court decision to reject our case
for a judicial review on the issue of pensions. Our case challenged
the government’s change to the way pensions are increased to take
account of inflation; from using the Retail Price Index (RPI) to
one using the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The unions are questioning the government’s decision to uprate
future pension increases by CPI.
To raise awareness of the appeal the unions are
organising a demonstration outside the High Court at 8.30am – 10am
on Monday, 20th February. We need your support to show that Unite
is opposed to this change.
The changes are being felt in the public sector, but are also
taking hold across the private sector. From BA, RSA, Cummins and
the Pensions Trust- to a range of others. Therefore, it is
important that Unite members, from across a range of sectors, come
out and show their opposition to this change.
If you can attend for a short period please contact: saba.mozakka@unitetheunion.org
