Doubts grow on pension reform

estimates that the cost of pensions in the future to reduce the row over David Cameron's claim that the system could "break"

One of the main arguments of the government to reform public sector pensions collapsed when it became clear that it should be more affordable in the future, not less, as more teachers organized strikes school since the early 1980s on the plans.

hope that the cost of payment of 6 million public sector workers will be reduced by £ 67 billion over the next 50 years mineral claims, David Cameron earlier this week that the system could "break" if not reformed.

More than 2 million students missed classes as a group of four dissident unions organized the first mass strikes against the austerity of the coalition.

Thousands of parents were forced to take a day off with nearly 6,000 schools have closed and partially closed 5000. In all, half the schools were affected.

"Today's action across the country show anger and anguish that this government is the teachers," said Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers.

"The teachers are dedicated to children and young people they teach. But they can not step back and see their pensions attacked when all evidence shows that are affordable and sustainable, and that costs are down. "

Ministers

claimed a smaller share of public administration revealed a lack of support for the tactics of the unions. Downing Street said that only half of the members of the PCS - the union of public administration has been at the forefront of the attack - were involved and that the impact was minimal

"The numbers speak for themselves," said the official spokesperson of the Prime Minister. Some unions also became rivals accusing the strikers of "tactical mistake."

indicative figures issued by the departments of government officials suggested that 100,000 had disappeared, reduced services and trip plans in the office working, tax and benefits ports, roads and airports. PCS insisted that 200 000 people to action.

warnings of chaos at airports, triggered by the Border Services Agency in the UK, suggesting people have to fly another day, failed to materialize. UKBA reported "minimal" impact on the 500,000 passengers.

Serwotka accused the minister of the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, head of the negotiations, the "fight" when asked to justify his earlier statements that pensions are becoming unaffordable.
Maude said only that the Hutton report in which pensions are based, was "very clear", said the status quo is untenable. "You can not keep taking more and more retired with the support of fewer people at work," he said.

subsequently argued that public sector workers would have to justify the cost of their pensions as schools and hospitals have been cutting their budgets.

The report by Lord Hutton, the work of former Secretary of Labor and Pensions, which laid the foundation for government reform, said the cost of public sector pensions as a proportion GDP is expected to decline after peaking last year at 1.9% to 1.4% in 2059/60.
