Union's retirees take on the issues

GERRY JONES

Close to 500 CWA Canada retirees have received memberships in the CWA|SCA Canada Retired Members’ Council.

The council is affiliated with the Congress of Union Retirees of Canada (CURC) and the Ontario Federation of Union Retirees (OFUR). Three CWA Canada retirees are members of the executive with CURC’s Ottawa chapter and are active with Labour’s political lobby campaign on pension issues.

Retirees have also assisted the Canadian Media Guild with several of its campaigns.

The council will be forming connections with CWA Canada Locals and with union retiree groups across the country. Through the association with CURC, retired members have access to health plan benefits and insurance (auto, life, property) at discounted rates.
