JOHN Cafferty’s article (Yorkshire Post, May 11) on behalf of Unison fails to make one significant point: he does not mention why so many private sector schemes have closed.
His thoughts should take him back to 1997 and one Gordon Brown who as Chancellor, at a stroke made impossible annual tax demands on private pension funds.
The millions he raked into the Government coffers and subsequently squandered, destroyed pensions and in turn the confidence of people to save for their future old age. That is also one of the reasons why so many people are not making provision for their retirement.
