Proposed changes to pension

Hi

I hope someone can help. I am a member of a defined benefit pension scheme since 2001-the company for which I work has announced they wish me to increase my contribution to the scheme while they decrease theirs. They are unsure if I will have to pay an increase each year or what the future entails.

I would like to know if the company can force me to agree to this proposal. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

What does your contract of employment say about pension contributions? What do the scheme rules say?

Echo Clubman's qs what have you be paying ? what will you be paying ? what do you get different from what you were entitled ?
