DO pensioners not realise the immense power they have?
Formed into a union, they could negotiate for higher pensions, lower TV licences and telephone, electricity and water charges and have a stronger say at election times.
The president of the National Pensioners Convention, Jack Jones, has told me that my idea of forming a pensioners' union was a great one .
I entreat all pensioners to raise their voices for a pensioners' union.
Write to Jack Jones, President, NPC, Transport House, Palace Street, London SW11 5JD.
