Perfect Pensions Storm

Money Box - A podcast by BBC Radio 4

Categories:

More than 2000 steel workers - many of them in the Welsh steel town of Port Talbot - were persuaded to transfer out of their final salary pension scheme. Many now deeply regret their decision, and believe they were mis-advised by"sharks" who descended on the town to take advantage of a period of confusion. Tony Bonsignore hears how the men's lives have been affected, what lessons have been learnt, and whether enough has been done to stop something similar happening again.Presenter: Tony Bonsignore Producer: Alex Lewis Editor: Richard Vadon
