National Day of Action to Protect Pensioners – Wed. February 21

Let your MPs know that you will not tolerate Canadian workers having their pensions Norteled or Searsed if their companies ever file for CCAA or BIA. It is doubly important to lobby your MPs if they are Liberal or even Conservative as they are the impediments to overcoming this unconscionable treatment of working class Canadians.

Tell them to support and pass pending private member bills C-372 and C-384. Feel free to have your members sprint and take copies of the attached pension report with them to give to their MPs or to use as talking points.
