THE headline ‘Pensioners’ tough choice’ (Echo Comment, August 12) sounds very apt as the new Tata pension proposals are given the OK.

Some of the 130,000 pension members may well feel outside of any communication loop on these proposals.

However as one of those pensioners, I would like to thank all of the media and my fellow steelworkers on social media for providing updates.

The same compliment cannot be paid to those working much closer to the pension coal/steel face. Let us hope that now the deals have been finalised communications to all will improve.
