Dear
Colleagues
General Conference
2011 – Motion 26
At
the General Conference to following motion was carried:
Motion
26
This Conference recognises that it
is the best interest of the membership to maintain pension increase orders
using the RPI calculation rather than the CPI calculation for pension schemes
It therefore instructs the NEC via
the RMAC to use all avenues to secure RPI as the continued calculation for pension
increase orders. This to include wide ranging campaigning as is felt necessary
to gain a successful conclusion.
CWU Retired Members Conference

As
part of this campaign, the National Pensioners Convention are asking for all of its affiliates to back to the ongoing campaign against
the government's decision to weaken both state and occupational pension schemes
by switching from the RPI to the CPI and sign the online petition at the link
below:

If over 100,000 signatories are secured it
may force a parliamentary debate on the issue and the chance for further
campaigning. Please therefore sign up and circulate as widely as possible and
encourage CWU members and their families to support this campaign.
Any enquiries regarding this Letter
to Branches should be addressed to Chris Tapper by email to ctapper@cwu.org or by
post to CWU headquarters.
Yours sincerely,
