Prospect pensions ballot imminent

General Secretary visits Island

Prospect members affected by planned changes to the government's pension scheme will be balloted from next week.

The results of the ballot are due in before the February sitting of Tynwald, when MHKs and MLCs will vote on the proposals, which call for higher contributions and reduced benefits.

Prospect Deputy General Secretary Dai Hudd has been in the Isle of Man for the last couple of days to address members

He says the themes which keep emerging among them are trust, transparency and openness:
