More untruths from a government who seem to want to deliberately mislead

Contrary to what the Intranet would have you believe, the government have not concluded headline agreements with all the trade unions on pension reform. In fact, in the Civil Service only GMB (a relatively small industrial player) has indicated acceptance. PCS have, for reasons already explained earlier on this blog, rejected the proposals out of hand.

You might like me be wondering why the government is attempting to mislead. It certainly isn't a sign of confidence that they have things in the bag as they have claimed.

This weekend a rank and file conference is being held to discuss the next stages in the campaign. It will include activists from unions whose leaders have signed up to the headline agreement. These activists are no happier than PCS about the terms or what their leaders have done. I am going to the conference and will give members a report next week.
