Election Statement

It's hard to think about pensions without feeling angry. We feel the fund is attacked from outside and in. A department we once trusted now won't give you advice, for fear of being sued. The IBM board considers the fund largely a means of inflating profits. What was once a symbol of trust between employee and employer has become a source of constant worry.

No wonder we need MEDs. But we need MEDs who don't disappear without trace. We need MEDs who aren't in awe of the corporation, and aren't afraid to be seen to fight for the members' interests.

I appreciate that few of you will consider this your ideal manifesto. But I would hope that as many of you as possible could put a `2' next to my name.

If you have any questions, I'd be delighted to hear from you. Send me an e-mail at wilsogj@uk.ibm.com.
