The Pension Award

Pension provision in the UK has undergone major changes, some of which clearly impact on the opportunities for stable and comfortable retirement of any union member.

This course will help you develop an understanding of jargon and inequality in pension provision, learn about the state provision of pensions, develop an awareness of occupational pension schemes and the regulatory framework that underpins this set-up.  You will be given support to develop a trade union campaign in the workplace to raise awareness of a pension issue.
