Motion 60
68 is Too Late
“That this Congress offer their continued support to the POA in their fight for pension justice for their members who work in the Scottish prison service and support the call for a retirement age of 60 which would bring prison officers at least in line with other uniform services such as fire services and police.
“Congress agrees that 68 is too late and shares the continued frustration of the POA in there being no progress at all in achieving a retirement age of 60, despite the many vocal offers of support and agreement from politicians across the political spectrum.
“Congress acknowledges prison officers are members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme and agrees to liaise with our colleagues in the TUC to provide mutual support in challenging this injustice through Westminster.
“Congress further agrees that there is more that can be done by the Scottish Government in this regard and offer support to the POA in Scotland to bring about pensions justice for their members.”
