Pension Campaign
Public service pensions spared... for now
During this short campaign, we collected more than 61,000 signatures of public service workers. I want to thank you for being part of that.
With your help we were able to stave off pension rollbacks that Treasury Board had contemplated for this year.
However we're not out of the woods yet. Treasury Board has told us they want to put pensions on the table in the next year.
And there was nothing in the budget to improve retirement security, so even as the Harper government declares the recession 'over' and the deficit as our new 'enemy' people heading into retirement do so with even less security knowing that government spending is to be frozen and the services they need will be cut back.
