Crisis hits Pension unions over check-off dues

Crisis hits Pension unions over check-off dues On By Johnbosco Agbakwuru – Abuja The Federal Civil Service Pensioners, FCSP, have written to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige to stop the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, from paying Check-up dues accruing from the payment of pension arrears to the National Union of Pensioners, NUP. Already FCSP has concluded plans to set up a committee to carry out the registration of the union as an independent body. Addressing journalists on Thursday in Abuja, the National Chairman of the FCSP, Comrade Omeiza Sunday said that the protracted impasse between his group and the NUP was occasioned by the “blatant refusal of the National Headquarters of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) to give us the commensurate allocation of the 55% share of the 1% Check-off Dues accruable the Federal Civil Service Pensioners Branch (FCSPB).

NPS has turned into no pension scheme : Council members

They demand that govt. staff be allowed to revert to the old scheme Members of the BJP and the JD(S) on Thursday urged the State government to revert to the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for State government employees as the New Pension Scheme (NPS) had failed to deliver the perceived benefits. While JD(S) member K.T. Srikante Gowda raised the issue, several BJP members, including Ayanur Manjunath and Y.A. Narayanswamy, also urged the government to return to the old scheme. Economic downturn Mr. Gowda said that since 2006 when the New Pension Scheme was implemented in Karnataka after it was approved in Parliament, a large number of government employees had shifted to it as they were promised lucrative returns. “However, owing to economic downturn and a host of other reasons, the returns have been very poor. The NPS has failed to protect the post- retirement welfare of government employees and now employees want to return to the Old Pension Scheme,” he said.
