Bill C-27

Online action calls on Minister Morneau to abandon Bill C-27

Bill C-27, An Act to amend the Pension Benefits Standards Act, is an attack on the retirement security of Canadians.

This bill will allow employers in the federal private sector and Crown Corporations to shift from good, defined benefit plans that provide secure and predictable pension benefits, into the much less secure form of target benefits. If passed, this bill would open the door to a disturbing trend of shifting all the risk of pension plans onto workers and retirees.

Stand up for the future of our pensions, the future of our bargaining and the future of our pay system

Sisters and Brothers,

Our recent bargaining win has reminded us of the incredible power we have when we stand together.  That win meant that each of us has thousands of dollars more now and will also grow future salary increases even faster for us and for future members.

Now is the time to use that united strength again to stand up for the future of our pensions, the future of our bargaining and the future of our pay system.

The UTE Executive Council recently met with the Minister of National Revenue, Diane Lebouthillier, where these issues were discussed at length.
