Reading Buses – Bus To Work Scheme

Tuesday, October 30th, 2018

Pru Section are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Reading Buses and together we will be launching a Bus To Work scheme in 2019. Unite members in Prudential, Dilegenta and TCS will be able to get discounted travel on Reading Buses in 2019 and also the option to pay for season tickets by monthly direct debit.

Further details will be announced closer to the time, but in the mean time, it would help Reading Buses to shape the scheme if members could fill out this survey.

Unfortunately the survey is blocked on the Prudential network, but it can be accessed on this website from other networks such as your mobile or home PC:

M&G Prudential Pensions Consultation Update

Monday, October 29th, 2018

Consultation Update

First of all, thank you to everyone who has given us their thoughts and feedback so far – whether that was in person, by email or at the member’s meeting in Reading. Many of you feel strongly about the proposals and we had a long list of points to present back to the Company at the first of the 5 formal consultation meetings last Thursday.

Please continue to send us feedback throughout the consultation process. DC members should now have received their individual letters showing the impact of the proposals and most DB members will receive their letters in the next few days (or an email to explain when it will be sent, for certain pockets of individuals with more complex calculations needed). We are interested to hear what member’s views are on their letters and on the modeller tool.

Next Steps

For those of you who aren’t based in Reading, we will be holding member’s meetings in other sites on the following dates:

Craigforth: 30th October, 3PM, PGDS Meeting Room 1, Central 2, Ground Floor
Waterhouse Square: 5th November, 11AM, Kee Room

Our next consultation meetings will be on the 6th and the 22nd November. We are aiming to have a counter proposal ready for the 22nd November and will seek member’s views on this before we present this to the Company. Many of you have already provided good ideas on what we can ask for, but please continue to send these as it helps us to shape our counter proposal. We will continue to keep you all updated regularly on our consultations with the business and what Unite is doing to support our members.

As ever, the more members we have, the stronger our collective voice. Please feel free to send a link to this website on to your colleagues and friends who may not be members.

If you have any questions or feedback on the consultation please email unite@prudential.co.uk or speak to your local rep.
