CEP pension info sessions in Kenora and Fort Frances

Leaders of Canada’s largest forestry union and senior officials of Canada’s largest forest company, AbitibiBowater, met yesterday with Ontario Forest Minister Mike Gravelle and finance department officials to discuss protecting the pensions of thousands of workers.

The delegation is proposing a trust for existing pensioners with government guarantees and regulation changes that would allow current pension benefits to continue.

CEP will hold information meetings for pensioners, over the next couple of weeks, at dozens of communities in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
