Teacher Pension - Strikes

Indeed - seems far too many are still thinking that final salary pensions are a right. That's why so many schemes are now heavily in debt. Just look at how much the government is going to have to pump into Royal Mail to bail them out.

Final Salary pensions are a 20th century thing. It's about time some unions stopped living there. I do think some cuts are going too far and too fast, but the UK is on life support just like several other EU countries, and the creditors are out for blood.
