Mike joins Dexion workers on the London march

Penning joins London Demonstration.

“I was proud to have been asked to join the former Dexion workers at their demonstration in London on Saturday morning.

I am deeply saddened and angry for workers who have worked hard, and done the decent thing and saved in a pension for their retirement, only to have their future stolen from them. The Government have a moral, ethical and almost certainly a legal responsibility to help these decent people because it was the Labour Governments legislation that raided pension funds and allowed companies to remove most of the pension reserves.

I have worked with the leadership of the Conservatives to seek compensation for all the workers that lost their pension rights and I will never give up this fight to get compensation and to get the law changed to protect all workers in company pension schemes.”
