The HRM pension committee needs to be told to keep their hands off our pension benefits
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

Reaching two hundred and fifty signatures will demonstrate the collective resolve we require to approach the committee with authority. Please ensure you have sent this link to your colleagues so we can solidify our position before the upcoming review.

Reaching one hundred signatures illustrates how deeply our members value the security of their retirement benefits. This early momentum confirms that protecting our veto power remains a shared priority for all of us.

Reaching our first hundred signatures represents a significant moment of clarity for the committee regarding our shared resolve. We must secure this momentum now to ensure our collective position remains undeniable when we present these concerns.

"Our" pension plan is one of the "main" reasons that so many of us have chosen to start careers with employers that are a part of the HRM pension plan. It provides our employees and families comfort, in knowing that we will have "security" and "confidence" when we retire, after so "many" years of hard work and dedication, in "important" jobs that support "our" communities. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANYMORE INCREASES! AND DESERVE TO HAVE A SAY IN HOW OUR PENSION PLAN IS MANAGED! "HANDS OFF" OUR FUTURES AND SUPPORT FOR A "FULL-TIME" WORKFORCE IN GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW!
I. like many others. have worked long and hard to get to a place where I look forward to retirement . My pension is what will allow me to retire with peace of mind. Changes of any kind will take that peace away.. so Please leave the pension as it is.
Please do not consider making any cuts to our pensions. We are the front line workers who do/have worked hard for the already paltry pension provisions that we currently have. look at the very generous pensions of our politicians/leaders. NOT off the backs of the middle class AGAIN!!! tired of us always being the target of cuts.
30 years of service and still can't afford to retire ! Leave our pensions alone.
We work hard for our pension and we also have pride in what we do.Dont touch our future.Leave our pension alone.
Hell NO. That's ours, we worked hard for it. Take from your already, over paid salaries
hands off! we earned this!
