OMERS – Defend Guaranteed Indexing Today

Defend Guaranteed Indexing in Your Pension Indexing

For the third time in 4 years, OMERS is trying to take away guaranteed indexing, an important benefit that protects our pensions from inflation when we retire.

They call their proposal to cut guaranteed indexing “Shared Risk Indexing” but fail to mention it is only workers and retirees, like us, sharing the risk. This proposal, if passed, will actually benefit employers by shifting risk from employers to workers and retirees. To find out more about the proposal and why you should send OMERS a message if you haven’t already, read the Fact Sheet below.

Airlines: Federal relief must focus on workers now, not CEOs
The COVID-19 pandemic and sweeping government efforts to combat it are now having a far-reaching impact on airline and Canada’s 50,000 airline workers who are laid-off by the thousands. Since your government bears some responsibility for the financial consequences for airlines and their employees, an airline federal aid package focusing on workers is needed now.
