Unilever - hands off our pensions!
Many of the
world's biggest companies are using the recession to attack
workers' pay and pensions. Yet they are still making healthy
profits and returning dividends to shareholders. At Unilever,
workers are standing up for what is theirs - and they need your
help.

Unilever is planning a massive attack on our members’ pensions
- watch the video below for more information.
The food and household goods giant, whose brands include PG Tips,
Marmite, Pot Noodle, Dove, Comfort and Surf, plans to close it
final salary pension scheme that its long-serving staff have worked
hard for and break its promise to protect their pensions.
They want to transfer current members to the inferior Career
Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) scheme from 1 July 2012. But
they also want to make more detrimental changes to the existing
CARE scheme so everyone loses.
Shutting down the scheme will wash the retirement plans of 7,000
workers down the drain - one worker has already estimated he will
lose a massive £150,000 from his pension pot if he lives for just
15 years after he retires!
This attack is a betrayal!
Workers along with their trade unions, Unite, Usdaw and GMB are
determined to fight back against this attack on their
pensions.
Support workers as they battle this attack on pensions that will
destroy their retirements and communities.
Email your message of support to workers or send a protest
letter to Unilever to demand these changes are stopped.
In January, workers from Unilever's sites at Purfleet, Port
Sunlight, Warrington, Leeds, Crumlin, Gloucester, Manchester,
Burton-on-Trent and Chester stepped up their battle for
pension justice by lobbying shareholders.
