Le SCFP demande au premier ministre de tenir sa promesse électorale - Le 28 juillet 2015
En conférence de presse aujourd’hui, le Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP) a exhorté le premier ministre Brian Gallant à tenir sa promesse électorale et à s’attabler avec les groupes qui représentent les fonctionnaires et les retraités pour chercher une solution de rechange aux réformes des régimes de retraite menées par le précédent gouvernement conservateur.
Joint Letter to Premier July 21, 2015
Premier Gallant:
The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada and Pension Coalition NB cannot accept the Shared Risk Plan.
The Shared Risk Plan was presented by the former government as entailing reform which, the Task Force affirmed, would produce a more secure, more affordable, transparent and sustainable pension plan.

Summary of remarks - Murray Gold, senior partner, Koskie Minsky
Please find below a summary of remarks given by Murray Gold, senior partner at Koskie Minsky, at a recent meeting of the National Association of Federal Retirees this past June.
Mr. Gold highlights the seriousness of the actions of the New Brunswick Government on provincial retirees. It's shameful for our New Brunswick governments to be singled out this way and to think that this is true leadership. Most other jurisdictions have proceeded with changes but on a true go forward basis. Even a Cabinet minister in the Harper Government recognizes accrued benefits and contract law.
