Hands off our pensions
Conservatives targeting pensions - Tell Flaherty not to reduce the deficit on the backs of public service workers
Once again we need to tell Finance Minister Flaherty – hands off our pensions!
Both he and the Prime Minister are openly talking about federal public service pensions, leaving the door open to changes in the next federal budget.
Those changes could include reducing benefits, changing the plan for new and younger employees and/or increasing contribution rates even more.
The government should strengthen retirement security for all rather than weaken the pensions of hard working public service workers.
What you can do to protect the plan
We were able to protect the pension plan in 2010 when we collected 100,000 petition signatures.
We can’t wait to see what the upcoming budget might include. And this time we need more than petition signatures.
- Send an email message to Flaherty. Use our sample, add your comments or create your own.
- Wear a “Hands off our pension” sticker and distribute them to your co-workers.
