Women will never give up pension fight
AMBER Rudd is threatening criminal proceedings for mismanaging pension pots (“Seven years in jail for bosses who trash workers’ pensions”, February 11).
Mismanagement is exactly what the Government has done to the 1950s women and it is an absolute scandal.
It’s about time the spotlight was turned on this Government which has effectively stolen the security net of millions of women by raising the state pension age far quicker than planned, with no personal notification.
Older women have paid a heavy price. We eagerly wait to see what will happen when the Government itself is put on trial.
In June it faces a judicial review in the High Court over this scandal.
It cannot expect other institutions in this country, whether public or private, to play fair with pension funds when it is not doing so itself. 1950s women will not rest until justice is done. Alison Clayton, London City WASPI (Women Against State Pension Injustice)
