CAW Pension Campaign
Solid Pension - Secure Future
The struggle to defend our pensions must become one of the most important priorities for the CAW - indeed for the whole labour movement.
It's an issue that is important to all Canadians. Older workers need to know their pensions are secure, as they move toward retirement. Younger workers need faith that the pension system will still exist by the time they exit the workforce. And, of course, our current retirees are concerned to protect their current pension benefits.
Simply put, working families want to make sure they can enjoy their golden years, free from poverty or hardship.
The materials found below will help you communicate the issues in the CAW's Solid Pension - Secure Future campaign to improve and protect pensions.
Save the Federal Gun Registry! Say NO to Bill C-391
The CAW has joined with hundrds of thousands of Canadians aross this country calling on MPs to vote NO for Bill C-391 - a Conservative-lead private members bill intended to dismantle Canada's long gun registry - the existing government program that administers the registration of rifles and shotguns. CAW President Ken Lewenza said:
The decision by a number of NDP MPs to change their vote on the national gun registry is courageous and a recognition that public safety must be paramount...I am hopeful that we can count on progressive MPs to defeat this potentially disastrous Bill.
