Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:
The Corporation is not negotiating in good faith with the National CUPW Negotiators. In simple terms they have not agreed to any clauses in the Collective Agreement. We cannot sit back and avoid a strike, not this time. Every member has to come out to vote to protect all of our rights.
What is at stake?
Two-Tier benefits for new hires, also that retiree’s pay 100% of their benefits at retirement, as it is now we pay 35% of the cost. It would be triple the amount. That is a serious roll back that affects all members. So nobody can sit back and say this won’t affect them. Two-Tier pension for new hires as well with a contributed pension plan not defined, which could weaken the pension for everyone in the future
