Retired – Not Dead The cost of retiring goes up with age
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As Stated in the national bulletin #32, “Canada Post Proposal: Doesn’t Measure Up”, especially for current and future retirees and their benefits.
Although there have been some improvements to the benefits in this proposed collective agreement it also contains rollbacks.
As most postal workers are well aware CPC has been deleting most full time positions in Group 1 (postal clerks, dispatchers and mail handlers). During the life of this proposed collective agreement there are over 10,000 members eligible for retirement. The question that begs to be asked is “Does CPC plan on deleting most of these positions instead of creating and hiring new employees therefore requiring retirees on a fixed income to pay more?”
Extended Health Care Benefits, EHCP
Active Members Future and Current Retirees
No Deductible Pay $50.00 for each person up To a maximum of $80.00 for per family
CPC pays 80% CPC pay 75% Member pays 20% Retirees pay 25%
Article 30:03 (B)
Prior to this tentative proposed collective agreement an employee could retire at the age of 60 and 10 years of service and would be allowed to opt into the Extended Health Care Plan (EHCP).Under the proposed collective agreement in order to opt into the EHCP, employees must now have 15 years of service and the age of 60, unless you are totally disabled.
Our union has always had a policy on health care D-15 the union believes all people have access to free universal health care plans.
We strongly recommend you say NO to these 2 tier health care benefits
In Solidarity
