| Retired members meeting in Leicester |
High on the list of priorities was campaigning against government cuts to public services. Libraries, health care and pensions were all in he spotlight as details of the cuts become ever more apparent. The network considered how best to inform retired people, and indeed all of us who aspire to be retired on day, of the threats to services and jobs.
The meeting considered how to best use new media opportunities as well as the more traditional printed outlets such as newspapers and branch newsletters.
Further discussion's will be held in February where the network expect to finalise their work programme and communications strategy.

Calling all Retired members to join working members on the TUC day of action on 30th November, 2011. They as well as us have paid our Pension Contributions in the expection that at retirement we can manage with some dignity and some level of comfort. Work longer, pay more and get less- how can that be right for future pensioners?
