Many OAPs have not got public sector pensions, but rely on the state pension for the bulk of their income. Even the top state pension is way less than the minimum wage these days. Some OAPs pay more in council tax than they do in income tax. I would be careful about asking for parity with state pensioners if I was in a union!What are you talking about? When has asking for parity been an attack on pensioners?
If pensioners get 11% workers should get 11%. When did that become controversial?
I don't support the Tories, but I am always amazed at how little Labour does to go after the OAP vote.
