But Dave Ward has said it’s the bees knees. He wouldn’t lie and sell thousands of us down the river would he? He’s never done that in the past, definitely not the recent past with a certain “agreement”
I haven’t seen Martin Walsh’ take on this new scheme but once it gets his seal of approval you will KNOW it’s a pile of garbage.
Won’t affect Dave and Martin anyway as they would never personally sign up for such a poverty scheme, that’s for us mugs.

The one we have isn’t too bad. Next up will be a Nest pension.

Nail on the head! Anything Ward sells as a 'good deal' is basically shooting yourself in the foot. Anybody on £130k a year doesn't have a clue what living on the bread line is like.

Why be in the union then? You’re paying their fat paychecks.

Be lucky to collect your pension when they put retirement age up to 71 anyway
