Commenting on yesterday’s (Monday) ONS figures on workplace pensions, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady yesterday said:

“Automatic enrolment is getting more people into pension schemes. This is good news.

“But it’s shameful that so many bosses are putting in the bare minimum. Unless employers raise their contribution rates millions will be denied the chance of a decent retirement.”
