MUCUS, the biggest Public Sector Union
The government today unveiled radical new plans which it hopes will solve the growing pensions crisis in the country. They stipulate that from May 2054 all UK citizens will be required by law to do at least one more stroke of work before retiring and becoming eligible for a state pension.
The move has infuriated the unions. Bert Boxer, Chairman of MUCUS, the largest Public Sector Union, said yesterday in to the assembled Press, "We at MUCUS wholeheartedly condemn the course of action taken by the Government, and will be challenging its legality in the European Courts. Every man and woman has an inalienable right never to do a stroke of work in their lives, a fact apparently lost on the wise men and women who make up our so-called government."
A spokesman for the government issued the following acid statement in reply, "Sarcasm is one thing, but lunacy is another. We will shortly be having Mr Boxer sectioned according to Clause 44(b) of the controversial Counter Lunacy Act 2005."
