I was a post office clerk and I worked at the counter in the GPO. I made phone calls to Ms Toner and her colleagues to put through international calls in 1982 when people had to book five minutes for a call. We fought for equal pay, equal work and equal value for the telephonists. This issue about pensions is a step on from that and has to be dealt with. The legislation is wrong and we will all put our backs behind it to ensure it is amended.
