Pensions before Dividends

To change the law to make it illegal for Companies to pay out Dividends to Shareholders when there is a pension deficit.

Why is this important?

The corporations are not doing the ethical thing by looking after their workers before shareholders. Examples, BHS, Carillion. At present Sainsbury' has given out £1.4B in dividends to it shareholders over last five years but the pension is running at a £974M deficit.
