Palaces dispute


Members of the PCS civil service union working for Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) have voted overwhelmingly to take action to defend their pensions against massive proposed cuts — 91.4% of members voted Yes on a 72% ballot turnout.


HRP, the charity that manages six of the UK’s unoccupied royal palaces, is planning to close its Defined Benefits pension scheme to future accruals and move the 120 staff who are members of the scheme into a Defined Contribution scheme. 


The PCS warned that members’ anger and resolve to take action is strong.
