Union anger at the surprise announcement of the Treasury established the magnitude of increases in pension contributions for millions of workers

leaders of teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters and other public sector workers said they were "frogmarched" coordinated strikes after the Treasury was surprised to delineate how individuals having to pay contributions to pension from next April.

The total cost of £ 1.2 billion is larger than expected, but high-level trade union sources said that "we had no warning of the announcement of each coordinate system, or disclosed to The Telegraph Sun and mixed with the usual rhetoric of "gold-plated pension'."

union leaders said they were convinced of some ministers, including Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, we remain committed to a negotiated settlement before the new regime was introduced in April, but questioned whether the Treasury ministers are only interested in saving cash.

There is a sense of frustration in recent days in a row by the Liberal Democrats that the party, including the Chief Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Danny, found the role of bearer of bad news for public.

, national secretary of the GMB public services union, and one of the negotiators in the talks in recent years, said that Alexander had a "peak" of discussions at the second time in two months . "Is the government trying to negotiate or we frogmarch in a conflict?"

He added: "In the past, if someone asked me, it was 50/50 if we solve this by negotiation or not the balance has changed and is 60 / 40 against us. able to reach a negotiated solution, making the prospect of collective action in the fall is much more likely. "

Alexander said that the proposed low pay of workers covered, and got a better balance between taxpayers and employees have contributed. Approximately 750,000 workers are required to pay any additional fees, and another million should not pay more than 1.5%. Discussions on specific programs, such as local government and the NHS will lead to more proposals before the end of October, on the form of savings of £ 2.3 billion higher in 2013/14 and £ 2,800 million in 2014/15 can be done.

Under the proposed changes to be introduced next year, nurses and teachers earn £ 25.700 will pay an extra £ 10 a month to his pension, a consultant to the NHS £ 130,000 will pay an extra £ 152 per month, while employees will see their contributions increase between £ 20 and £ 140 per month.

In support of £ 100 000, officials pay an extra £ 2,100 a year, doctors almost £ 2,000 and £ 1,752 teachers.

In the main members of the firefighters pension plan are facing increases of 11% to 14% and 17% for firefighters. The retirement age of 60 will also increase. Firefighters union's general secretary Matt Wrack said the preliminary arrangements for a strike vote is being prepared. He said: "This flight is a lightning gross pension theft over pension rights of firefighters to help cover the budget deficit has nothing to do with sustainability or the price .."
the greatest savings to the taxpayer will the NHS Plan (£ 530 million), followed by the outline of the teacher (300 million pounds) and the civil service (£ 180m).
