2009 Share Trust Update

In our July 2024 update, we mentioned that we were waiting for amendments to federal Income Tax Regulations (ITR). We are pleased to share that these amendments were approved and implemented in March 2025.
Unfortunately, the federal amendments took much longer than we would have expected or wanted, even with support from all parties. As a result, it’s unlikely that VSPs and lump sum payments to pensioners will be offered or paid before early 2026. The Company has committed to moving forward as quickly as possible, but they don’t control the timing for all approvals and conditions, so further delays are possible.

IAM Stay Informed Poster

During General Vice-President David Chartrand’s recent visit to our locals, we noticed something important: many members don’t have the latest information on what’s happening within the IAM Union.  It’s clear that there’s a need for more communication and support to keep everyone in the know.
