No I am not a member of a Union. If we get into union, our life is made a hell. They don't like that.
The consultation were with local reps and one of them was my manager, anyway. They promised me they could red circle the situation but when time came to apply, they said they haven't got money to put in to guarantee me the deferred pension, so whether I was 60, or 65 years old, the problem would still exist. They offered me a pension much lower than the one deferred, all in acturial deductions. At the same time if I resign from the new place, I cannto take out the money paid in and they will let me go without anythign, not even a thank you for having been here for over 30 years.
