Take urgent steps to curtail the unsustainable public sector pensions deficit
According to ONS 2015 statistics the total net public sector pension liability stands at an eye-watering £1,493Bn and in 2014/15 alone increased by £190Bn. This liability will be shouldered by current and future generations of UK taxpayers the majority of whom have no access to DB pensions.
The public sector pension liability arises from 4 principle sources:
1. Unfunded state pensions
2. Unfunded public sector occupational DB schemes
3. Funded public sector schemes which are being systematically under-funded
4. Rescue funding for private sector schemes unable to meet liabilities
Of these action is being taken to make state pensions more sustainable (later retirement ages, changes to qualifying conditions). However no corresponding action has been taken to address items 2 & 3.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. It is clear that you want the Government to act on public sector pensions, but not clear what action you would like to be taken.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
