The truth behind the Union leaders pensions

[iggly2]

Just to balance the debate.

The pension pots of certain trade union leaders are estimated at over £1 million each ! Same with many headteachers/NHS employees/and yes MPs etc.

Brendan Barber, head of TUC, £1.8 million

Paul Kenny and Len McCluskey, heads of GMB and Unite, circa £1.5 million

By Hargreaves Lansdown actuary valuation.

Oh Iggly2 - are you paid by the government or something? You have already posted this elsewhere. So what? - it is the union members who are striking for their future livelihood.

What scheme do union officials belong to?

I would assume their own trade union schemes would fund these schemes Edith. The details were in the Telegraph on Sunday . I thought it would be a bit of interesting information!

Tesla: no Government funding here! Actually DH is public sector (not striking). Just a maths geek that likes reading pension committee reports etc and looking into things.

^What telsa said... and enough with all the cutting and pasting, too!

Because the tux called the strike over a few union leaders pensions

If it is a private pension, then they are very lucky indeed to have such a pot.

I was wondering if they were a category (like certain non-state school teachers who still belong to TPS) who still belonged to public sector pensions even when no longer part of the public sector.

Anyone got info on pensions of eg Fred Goodwin, Philip Green, richard Branson? Where do you think that money comes from? How about their (private sector) employees? Do you think it's shared out fairly?
