Labour-backing union bosses have written to Sir Keir Starmer urging him to reconsider the decision not to compensate 1950s-born women.
Unions are urging the UK government to compensate WASPI women for changes to their State Pension age, following a Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman report recommending redress. Labour's Liz Kendall stated blanket compensation couldn't be justified, prompting criticism from unions and the WASPI campaign, who launched a High Court judicial review to challenge the decision. Unions argue the government's refusal risks eroding public trust and disregards the impact on 3.5 million women affected.
