Stop private companies abusing and misusing their pension schemes

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The background is the collapse of Carillion with a massive multi-million pound 'hole' in the company pension scheme. Current employees and existing pensioners have no certainty about their future pensions despite having contributed for many years to the scheme. This abuse of pension funds must stop.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
