PrintUNA members urged to attend final pension hearings
More than 200 passionate and engaged working people packed a meeting room in Calgary for the fourth public hearing into Bills 9 and 10, the Alberta government’s controversial pension legislation. The MLA Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future is holding hearings on the controversial pension changes, which would fundamentally undermine the Local Authorities Pension Plan if passed in their present form.
The LAPP is the main retirement security plan for most members of UNA.
United Nurses of Alberta strongly urges members to attend the final public committee hearings to make clear to the MLAs on the committee their concern about proposed changes to their pensions.
Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future, pension legislation hearings:
All the public hearings are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Dates and locations of the remaining public hearings are listed below:
- Medicine Hat – June 25, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Medicine Hat Lodge, 1051 Ross Glen Drive SE
- Red Deer – June 26, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel, 3310 – 50th Avenue
All the hearings will be open to the public, and any UNA member who wishes to attend may do so simply by showing up.
