ISME LAUNCH THEIR PENSIONS EQUITY CAMPAIGN
T H E B U S I N E S S O F I R I S H S M Es
On 1st February we launched our campaign to raise funds for a legal challenge to force the creation of a fair system for private sector pension savers. The last Public Service Pay Commission report found that while there is almost 100% pension coverage in the public sector, the overall figure for the private sector is 40%. This means that workers in the private sector who aspire to a pension even close to that of a similarly paid public sector worker, would have to surrender more than a third of their salary. To support the challenge ISME is calling on private pension holders to spread the word and to make a donation today. Read all about this campaign on page 19.
