The feds need to protect pensions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the bad news on the health front, there\u2019s a lot to worry about with the economy these days.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already heard that the Canadian shoe company ALDO has filed for creditor protection. Unfortunately, I\u2019m worried it won\u2019t be the last company that declares bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

The financial impact of COVID-19 is huge.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ve seen what can sometimes happen when companies close: Workers are left holding the bag.<\/p>\n

The federal government needs to be sure companies can\u2019t walk away with people\u2019s pensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you agree, please take action. Write to the government now using this easy tool. If enough of us speak up, the feds will have to act.<\/p>\n

Workers and pensioners deserve super-priority status. That means they are first in line when it comes to paying creditors after a company files for bankruptcy. This is what Canada\u2019s unions have long been saying.<\/p>\n

We also need enhanced retirement security for all Canadians, right across the country. After a lifetime of hard work, no one should have to retire in poverty.<\/p>\n

Thanks for taking action.<\/p>\n
