IT'S ALL ON THE TABLE
DID YOU KNOW.....
There are attempts to eliminate defined benefit pension plans in Canada.
STOP the government from using federal and territorial public sector workers as scapegoats and attacking our pension plans!
DON'T ALLOW the goverment to remove early retirement incentives, such as being able to retire with a full pension at 55, after 30 years of service !
WE MUST FIGHT against any attack on public services and defined-benefit pension plans!
