Pension Dispute Unions May Disrupt Olympics.
Unite union threatened to disrupt the London Olympics last night as part of its battle against cuts to public sector pensions.
Len McCluskey, the general secretary of Unite, urged other unions opposing the pension reforms to target the Olympics. He is also calling on the public to back the unions by engaging in “all forms of civil disobedience within the law”.
A further day of protests is planned by some unions on 28 March over the planned reforms, which will see its members having to work longer for smaller pensions and make larger contributions.
