Posted by NUJ news release

BBC union members have voted in massive numbers to reject the BBC's latest pensions proposals and press ahead with plans for strike action. Unions have been consulting members about the latest pensions proposals at a series of meetings across the UK. The message so far has been clear – stop the pensions robbery.

Huge votes have backed union plans for action to defend pensions at meetings in Bristol, London, Belfast, Cardiff, Newcastle, Bristol, Ipswich and at BBC Monitoring and BBC World Service.

Further meetings are planned in Glasgow, Plymouth, Manchester and Birmingham among other venues, before a meeting between the joint unions and BBC management on the morning of 1st October.

There will also be a joint unions meeting of reps on 1st October where a final decision will be made on what action to take.
