More than a hundred Unilever workers have demonstrated outside the company's annual general meeting today, saying plans to scrap its final salary pension scheme are a "betrayal".

University workers will be balloted for strike action over pension changes after the Universities Superannuation Scheme confirmed an end to its final salary scheme for new entrants.
