BT: We're shuttering final salary pension scheme

Re: As could be expected....

They haven't persuaded the union to take a £14bn write-down. That's simple nonsense. The £14bn deficit isbased on current known liabilities alone. That's something like 300,000 pensioners, mostly current, some deferred. Those benefits are locked into law and cannot be changed.

The deal is more about stopping the deficit getting worse.
