Review state pension system to reflect lifetime workload and job intensity — 46 signatures. Status: open.
We want government to review the state pension system to reflect lifetime workload and job intensity. Consider flexible or earlier retirement access for physically demanding sectors like hospitality, recognising long hours, shift work, and health impact versus less intensive roles.
We are calling for a review of how the UK state pension system reflects real working conditions. Many people in hospitality and similar sectors work long, irregular hours, often 45-60+ per week, with physical demands, stress, and limited recovery time. Over a lifetime, this creates a different health impact compared to less physically intensive or desk-based work. We are asking for a fairer approach that considers lifetime workload, job intensity, and occupational strain in retirement access.
