It has come to the attention f the NSUPE local 2 executive that the Halifax Regional Municipality pension committee is considering making significant changes to the structures, governance, and decision-making processes of the HRM pension plan. Currently every union has a veto to any proposed cut to the benefits of the pension plan. These new changes could potentially allow the HRM pension committee to reduce pension benefits without NSUPE and the other unions on the pension committee being able to exercise the right that we now have to stop any cuts to the pension. We are asking all members of the HRM pension plan to sign this petition calling on the HRM pension committee to leave the union veto to benefit cuts in place. The HRM pension committee needs to be told to keep their hands off our pension benefits
