President Stan Cunningham's Message
During this past year, we've been working steadily in the areas of health benefits and pension policy. The fact that our paid membership has now topped 200 means that the University and the Faculty Association are more inclined to listen to us.
We continue to voice retirees' pension interests on the Faculty Association Pension and Benefits Committee, and on the Joint University/Faculty Association pension review body--the D7 Committee. Within both these committees, we have played an active and originating role in pushing for independent pension-review mechanisms, in formulating issues, and in developing strategies such as comparison studies of other Ontario university plans. We hope to see these efforts translate into improvements in next year's contract proposals.
Members of your Executive have also been examining alternative health-benefits plans and arrangements with a view to reducing your monthly premium costs. In time for the fall general meeting, we expect to present you with a choice of options, which you will have the opportunity to discuss and vote on, and which, we believe, will mean savings for you.
In the meantime, I wish you all a relaxing and healthy summer.
You earned it!
