What the petition asks
We the undersigned call upon the UK Government to review the 'Mineworkers Pension' to reduce from the 50/50 sharing of the surpluses that the Government are taking from the system. It has been a number of years since the mineworkers and widows have had an increase in their pension.
We are fighting for the monies that both Labour and Tory Government have taken from the Miners since 1994/5. This money has been taken at a rate of 1m per-day,which equates to £8bn in total . We are looking to the people of the UK to support the miners in this fight as the mine workers have been the back bone of this country of a number of years.
