Unite and NPC join forces against state pension age rises

A UNION and campaign group have joined forced to fight pension age rises.

Unite and the National Pensioners’ Convention (NPC) say the state pension age is already too high, and is set to rise to 67 by 2028 and 68 by 2046.

The two groups have launched a petition against raising the state pension and campaigners are building support for a nationwide campaign.
