Mark Thompson, the BBC's director-general of the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) advised staff on Monday that he will
not re-open discussions on their pension benefits despite
continuing threats of strikes, which may include a walkout during
the Christmas Period.
In the e-mail to staff, Mr Thompson said:
"We cannot and will not enter fresh negotiations or contemplate
fresh changes to the agreed offer on pension reform, no matter how
much industrial action there is from the NUJ."
