Seven trade unions will take the government to court on Monday, 20 February over changes to the way public sector pensions are calculated.
They are appealing against a High Court decision last year to approve the switch from the Retail Price Index (RPI) to the usually-lower Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the uprating of pensions.
When: 8.30am Monday 20 February, 2012
Where: The Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London, WC2A 2LL
There will be a protest by trade union members to support the appeal outside the Royal Courts of Justice.
The unions involved are: the Public and Commercial Services union, the Communication Workers Union, the Fire Brigades Union, teachers’ union NASUWT, the Prison Officers’ Association, and the general unions Unison and Unite.
