so you don't think they'll reach an agreement with this new pension proposal either then Robert?

The CWU proposal has got merits, but it’s the opposite to what RM want to implement, i.e RM want DC and the union are suggesting DB.
A DB scheme for all is an ideal, but personally I can’t see RM making a complete u-turn.

Did others receive the same advice ? Can anyone corroborate your version of events ? Because that is not only the manager proferring financial advice (which they are not qualified to do), it is offering bad financial advice.
Almost tantamount to mis-selling.

I can offer you financial advice (though I wouldn't) because I'm just a random internet forum bloke - your line manager doing it is a completely different ball game.

Why did the Union ever agree to a DC scheme? It's disgraceful that there are two 'classes' of postmen who all do exactly the same job and some of us are contributing into a scheme that will leave us in pension poverty compared to those in the DB scheme! Why did the Union ever allow the DC scheme through?

I don't think they did agree to it.

That was seriously bad advice but unless you have written proof that was said to you, then I would have thought you’d have no chance whatsoever of any recompense.

Give it a year or so and we’ll all be in a DC scheme anyway!
