SIX unions are taking the Tory government to court over botched pension reforms which saw billions of pounds taken from key workers.

The case — brought by Unite, GMB, Civil Service union PCS, the Fire Brigades Union, the Royal College of Nursing and the Prison Officers Association (POA) today — will be heard at the High Court until Friday. 

It concerns 2015’s changes to public-sector pension schemes imposed by ex-PM David Cameron on nurses, teachers, civil servants, local government workers, firefighters and others.
