Rather than make a quick profit by investing in a non-union company, unions could promote investments in unionized companies with good labour relations. Such investments would strengthen unions and help maintain union jobs. Pension funds hold massive amounts of money. The investment of these funds can have a major effect on the economic and social well-being of Canadian communities. It is therefore important that workers become involved in the management of pension funds.
Pensions are just too important to ignore.
Take the time to learn about pensions. Encourage retirees to organize a chapter in your local. Encourage women to get involved with the pension issue. Some women may feel overwhelmed and reluctant. With some reading and discussion, pensions can be mastered.
