Legal action brought by public sector workers against the States of Guernsey about pension reforms has been postponed following talks between both sides and the Unite union.

A trial was due to begin next week following changes to the public sector pension scheme in 2016.

Today, both sides issued a joint statement describing as negotiations as “constructive and intensive” with a new “flexible” pension option proposed for members to consider.

The statement said: “Unite has been instrumental in the development of the proposal and will take the proposal back to their affected membership to seek their views via a ballot. Following the ballot, and should the proposal be accepted, the Policy & Resources Committee is committed to take the necessary steps to implement the proposal.

Peter Hughes, Regional Secretary of Unite, said: “We are pleased the States have listened to the views of our membership. We believe the proposal is of significant benefit to our members and we look forward to engaging with our affected membership through our normal consultative process.”

Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq, who deals with employment matters on the Policy & Resources Committee, said: “The proposal is a favourable development addressing the concerns of our valued employees whilst ensuring the pension arrangements remain as affordable and sustainable.”

Details surrounding the proposal remain confidential to the parties for now.
