Workers must not lose out on pensions

Former workers at the Visteon plant in Swansea were at the National Assembly today as part of their campaign to win back they pensions.
The car parts firm went into administration last year leaving workers short of the pensions they were entitled.
They are not the first, and certainly not the last, to have their retirement threatened through no fault of their own. Ford, which transferred the plant to Visteon 10 years ago, have a moral duty - if not a legal one - to ensure their former workers do not lose out.
Former ASW steelworkers in Cardiff have been involved in a courageous campaign to win 100 per cent of the pensions. These decent working class people were also demonstrating at the Assembly earlier this month to highlight their plight.
They should not have to do this to try and get the pensions they are entitled to. The UK Government must stop ducking this issue and ensure these brave fighters do not lose a penny. They've bailed out the bankers, so it's the least the ex-ASW workers deserve.
