GMB has responded to attacks on workers' pensions in Reform-led councils.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:
“This announcement is cruel, performative nonsense that won’t work and won’t ever happen. Why would Reform target poorly paid workers like this?
“Council staff have suffered more than a decade of savage pay cuts - slashing their pensions is the worst form of bullying.
“But it’s a timely warning; the first thing Reform do when they get any power is attack the low-paid workers that keep our country moving.
“GMB will do everything in its power to protect members’ rights.”
