Usdaw believes that all of our members have the right to a decent pension, to allow them to enjoy their retirement fully. For this we need a fair pensions system where both State and company pensions make a contribution. We know that to achieve good company pensions we need activists who understand how pensions work, so that they can get pensions onto the bargaining agenda. So, on this part of the website, we hope to explain pensions in a simple and understandable way, and encourage members to get active in their own schemes.
