A former employee of Britain’s biggest union has been sacked as a ‘trustee director’ of its pension scheme after alleging discrimination against 350 retired members of its staff who are in their 80s. Dave Marsh says he was informed he had been ‘removed’ from the role by Alex Ryan, the pension secretary of Unite the Union’s pension scheme (UPS) in a telephone conversation.

Mr Marsh has served as a trustee director of the scheme since 2015 and says that since then he has been re-elected every three years by more than 2,300 pensioners - the “largest constituency in the scheme”, he said.

Mr Marsh, from Salford, was a union official based in Manchester from 1977 until he took voluntary redundancy in 2005. But he continued as a trustee director and is also one of the people affected.

This was relayed to me by telephone. “I believe this is because I have exposed systemic discrimination from the heart of Unite the Union - the general secretary and executive council - that they refused to increase 350 80-year-old pensioners a £3 a week increase at no cost to them.”
He said he believes the Unite bosses think ‘if they get
