N.1 centralised on a national basis by the labour movement, can become a weapon of the working class - providing the basis for a sliding scale of wages and benefits ana a national minımum wage, protecting arr workers Figures released by Age Concern underline the hypocrisy of the Government's claim to be 'helping the pensioners", and further stress the need for automatic increases in pensions and other benefits based on a special index for the low paid.

In July 1974 the Government triumphantly introduced the £10 and E16 pension But on the basis of the Retail Price Index for January 1976, the real value of the pension, which is nominally £13.30 for a single person and £21.20 for a married couple, is now only £9.84 and £15.55 respectively. Pensioners are an additional 19p per week worse off because of the Government's decision not to pay the £10 Christmas bonus.

Since July 1974 the pension has risen by only 33 per cent, compared with the fuel and light index which has increased by 48.5 per cent, and the food index by 40.5 per cent.. Electricity prices alone have increased by 42 per cent, and if the app. lication by the Electricity Council to the Price Commission is successful, consumers could be paying 59 per cent more in July 1976 than they were two years previously. ano bensioners soeno oroportionatev twice as mucn or tneir income on ruer as tne average household on which the RPI is based and proportionately 50 per cent more The last TUC Congress was marked as usual by a special plea for the pensioners the TUC are now driving many of those same pensioners to starvation and death It's time the workers movement brought him to account.
