U.K. public-sector unions said they will continue planning for strikes on Nov. 30 after the government made concessions over changes to workers’ pensions.
The concessions, including protecting existing pension rights for people 10 years from retirement, higher limits for government contributions and improved benefit-accrual rates, were made because of union pressure, the unions said in a joint statement published today on the website of their umbrella movement, the Trades Union Congress.
