GMB Rejects Turner Report Proposal To Extend Retirement Age To 67
30 November 2005
Paul Kenny, GMB Acting General Secretary, responding to the Turner Report calling for the retirement age for the state pension to be raised to 67, said,
“With average life expectancy for men in Glasgow of 69.3 years and for men in Kensington & Chelsea of 80.8 years, a uniform, compulsory retirement age of 67 is simply not acceptable. There is no way that GMB will go along with raising the state retirement age to 67. GMB will actively campaign against this proposal.”
