Steelworkers’ Pensions Under Attack in Britain<\/span><\/h1>\n

\nDemonstration in Port Talbot against attacks on steelworkers’ pensions.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

India-based Tata Steel Limited with over\u00a080,000 workers producing steel throughout the world announced last year a restructuring of workers’ defined benefit pensions in Britain. The attack on pension rights affects\u00a0124,000 members of the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS). Tata Steel presently has\u00a08,000 active workers at mills in England and Wales. The company is a member of the cartel Tata Group, which expropriates the value of production from\u00a0700,000 workers worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pension concessions demanded of British steelworkers and retirees affect their actual and potential pension benefits from a restructuring of the BSPS pension plan and its\u00a0$26 billion accumulated fund. Tata Steel and state officials threatened pensioners that without concessions to reduce pension benefits and company contributions into the fund from the new value active workers produce, the ruling imperialist elite in control of the steel sector would close the Tata-owned mills. The aim in reducing pension benefits and company pension plan contributions is to ensure the oligarchs who own and control the mills increase their expropriation of the value steelworkers produce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tata Steel and the state Pensions Regulator together have actively engaged in extorting what belongs to workers by right. They both declared that without anti-worker concessions and a state-organized pay-the-rich infusion of public funds into the private cartel to increase and guarantee the money profit of the owners of equity and debt, the steel sector of the economy could not and would not function. The blackmail they employed is familiar to many Canadian steelworkers. Even the words and threats are similar. They all boil down to the anti-social refrain, \u00abWe, the imperialists in control, with the full support and blessings of the state authorities who represent our private interests, refuse to run the economy and steel mills unless our aim for maximum money profit is realized. This demands that you workers must reduce your claims on the value you workers produce both in current wages and pension benefits and the state must provide us public funds. Otherwise we will declare bankruptcy, slam the door on your claims on our private assets, which belong mostly to moneylenders, and either shut the mills endangering your present livelihoods or sell the enterprise for a song to a fellow (insider) investor who will not be encumbered by social responsibilities for existing pensions, other post-employment benefits or environmental remediation.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Workers’ Weekly<\/span><\/i>, the online newspaper of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist), writes that Tata Steel and the state regulator presented the\u00a0124,000 members of the British Steel Pension Scheme with a stark choice either to transfer to an inferior replacement scheme concocted by Tata Steel or to a Pension Protection Fund (PPF). The paper says, \u00abBoth schemes will return less on average to workers than the old scheme, but the default option in the case of making no choice — and many retired workers were not in any position to make such a choice due to ill health — was the PPF, generally the less beneficial alternative.\u00bb The pensioners faced a narrow window from October to December\u00a02017 to accept one or another scheme to reduce their pension benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pensiones de trabajadores sider\u00fargicos bajo ataque en Gran Breta\u00f1a

\nManifestaci\u00f3n en Port Talbot contra los ataques a las pensiones de los trabajadores sider\u00fargicos.<\/p>\n

Tata Steel Limited, con sede en la India, con m\u00e1s de 80,000 trabajadores que producen acero en todo el mundo, anunci\u00f3 el a\u00f1o pasado una reestructuraci\u00f3n de las pensiones de beneficios definidos de los trabajadores en Gran Breta\u00f1a. El ataque a los derechos de pensi\u00f3n afecta a 124,000 miembros del British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS). Actualmente, Tata Steel tiene 8,000 trabajadores activos en f\u00e1bricas en Inglaterra y Gales. La compa\u00f1\u00eda es miembro del grupo Tata Group, que expropia el valor de producci\u00f3n de 700,000 trabajadores en todo el mundo.<\/p>\n

Las concesiones de pensiones exigidas a los trabajadores sider\u00fargicos y jubilados brit\u00e1nicos afectan sus beneficios de pensi\u00f3n reales y potenciales a partir de una reestructuraci\u00f3n del plan de pensiones BSPS y su fondo acumulado de $ 26 mil millones. Tata Steel y funcionarios estatales amenazaron a los pensionistas de que sin concesiones para reducir los beneficios de pensi\u00f3n y contribuciones de la empresa al fondo del nuevo valor que producen los trabajadores activos, la elite imperialista gobernante que controla el sector del acero cerrar\u00eda las f\u00e1bricas propiedad de Tata. El objetivo de reducir los beneficios de pensi\u00f3n y las contribuciones de los planes de pensi\u00f3n de la empresa es garantizar que los oligarcas que poseen y controlan las f\u00e1bricas incrementen su expropiaci\u00f3n del valor que producen los trabajadores sider\u00fargicos.<\/p>\n

Tata Steel y el regulador estatal de pensiones se han comprometido activamente a extorsionar por derecho a lo que les pertenece a los trabajadores. Ambos declararon que sin concesiones contra los trabajadores y una infusi\u00f3n de fondos p\u00fablicos organizada por el estado en el c\u00e1rtel privado para aumentar y garantizar el beneficio monetario de los propietarios de capital y deuda, el sector sider\u00fargico de la econom\u00eda no podr\u00eda y no funcionar\u00eda El chantaje que emplearon es familiar para muchos trabajadores sider\u00fargicos canadienses. Incluso las palabras y amenazas son similares. Todos ellos se reducen al estribillo antisocial: \u00abNosotros, los imperialistas en control, con el apoyo y las bendiciones de las autoridades estatales que representan nuestros intereses privados, nos rehusamos a dirigir la econom\u00eda y f\u00e1bricas de acero a menos que nuestro objetivo sea obtener el m\u00e1ximo beneficio monetario Esto exige que los trabajadores reduzcan sus reclamos sobre el valor que los trabajadores producen tanto en los salarios actuales como en los beneficios de pensi\u00f3n, y el estado debe proporcionarnos fondos p\u00fablicos. De lo contrario, nos declararemos en bancarrota y cerraremos sus reclamos sobre nuestros activos privados. , que pertenecen principalmente a prestamistas, y cierran los molinos poniendo en peligro sus medios de subsistencia actuales o venden la empresa por una canci\u00f3n a un inversor (interno) que no estar\u00e1 sujeto a responsabilidades sociales por pensiones existentes, otros beneficios post-empleo o remediaci\u00f3n ambiental \u00bb<\/p>\n

Workers ‘Weekly, el peri\u00f3dico en l\u00ednea del Partido Comunista Revolucionario de Gran Breta\u00f1a (Marxista-Leninista), escribe que Tata Steel y el regulador estatal presentaron a los 124,000 miembros del British Steel Pension Scheme una cruda elecci\u00f3n o transferir a un esquema de reemplazo inferior elaborado por Tata Steel o un Fondo de Protecci\u00f3n de Pensiones (PPF). El documento dice: \u00abAmbos esquemas devolver\u00e1n menos en promedio a los trabajadores que el antiguo esquema, pero la opci\u00f3n predeterminada en el caso de no hacer otra elecci\u00f3n, y muchos trabajadores jubilados no estaban en condiciones de tomar esa decisi\u00f3n debido a problemas de salud. – fue el PPF, generalmente la alternativa menos beneficiosa \u00ab. Los pensionistas se enfrentaron a una ventana estrecha de octubre a diciembre de 2017 para aceptar uno u otro plan para reducir sus beneficios de pensi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
