The TUC have issued a press release at lunchtime today (click here for details) stating that:
"At a meeting of all the unions representing members covered by the Local Government Pension scheme this morning (Wednesday) a proposed joint statement with the Local Government Association was unanimously recommended for endorsement. Each of the unions will now urgently be holding their necessary internal consultations on that recommendation.
The joint statement, which has already been endorsed by the Local Government Association, is the result of detailed informal discussions over recent days. It establishes the framework for the detailed negotiations on future local government pensions.
To facilitate these negotiations it is being recommended that all the industrial action currently planned should be suspended."
Media coverage can be found on the BBC News website: "Council pension strikes suspended"
UNISON should have news on the national website pensions section in due course
