Protecting pensions

Your pension protects your future. You work hard now, and your deferred salary needs to be there when you retire. We all deserve a secure retirement.

We are fighting to protect our pensions and for a secure retirement for everyone.

Only 37% of people in Canada have workplace pensions to secure their retirement. Without a workplace pension, seniors have to rely on personal savings and government programs. This leaves many seniors living in poverty. And, precarious jobs today are setting young people up for the same precarious retirement.

This is why the Canadian labour movement fights for pensions for all and improvements to these government programs.

Most PIPSC members are included in the Public Service Pension (PSP) plan.

Some PIPSC groups have their own pension plans: BCFNHA, CCC, CTC, NAV CANADA, UOITP, YHC, MAGE, Ontario groups and New Brunswick groups. CRPEG, WPEG, WTEG groups have their own pension plans; however, members with service prior to 2015 are a part of the PSP plan.

Take action to protect your pension

Federal and provincial governments have opened the door to legislation that could threaten our workplace pensions. The Conservative provincial government in New Brunswick actually succeeded in passing similar legislation that impacts PIPSC members in that province.

Your pension protects your future. You work hard now, and your deferred salary needs to be there when you retire. We all deserve a secure retirement.
