In the event there are additional jobs needed to address any possible loss of employment in the areas impacted by the land use planning and interim measures, this pension package will be offered in other operations certified to I.W.A. Canada, Local 2171, with the proviso that any packages provided will create a full time job for a Member from the affected areas. The packages will be offered first in areas close to an affected Member s home, so that the displacement of people is minimized. This process will be administered by four representatives of I.W.A. Canada, Local 2171, two of whom will be pension experts, and additional representatives as required from the Forest Industry. The cost of administration of these changes will be borne by the Fund to deal with the Mitigation Plan. The Parties agree to work together to limit the tax exposure for employees involved in this Agreement, with the understanding that all funds will be disbursed as expeditiously as possible.
All comments welcome.
