New USS pension proposals

26 January 2022

Â鶹¹ÙÍø today issued a set of new USS pension proposals aimed at averting widespread industrial action across the UK.

In a letter to the chair of the USS Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC), the body which decides how the USS pension scheme is managed, Â鶹¹ÙÍø general secretary Jo Grady called for the new proposals to be formally tabled and put to a vote of employer and staff representatives when the committee sits next month. The proposals call on the employers to back:

  • a new, sensible evidence-based valuation
  • a revised cost-sharing approach for one year with small increases to member and employer contributions to protect benefits
  • a limit on future member contributions of no more than 9.8%.
