Detailed explanations of proposed changes to the pension plan can be found on the Pension Page
The current Collective Agreement expires April 30, 2019 and all features of that agreement continue in force until then. Based on our agreement with Queen’s in 2015 to explore alternatives to the Queen’s Pension Plan, QUFA and Queen’s bargained terms for a new Collective Agreement (2019-2022) and a new pension plan in late 2018. A full explanation of this is available through the webcast of the December Fall General Meeting (see Events tab below for link). These two agreements are available here:
- Memorandum of Agreement with Respect to Pensions
- Memorandum of Agreement with Respect to All Matters Relating to the Negotiation of a Renewed Collective Agreement
A Summary of changes to the Collective Agreement and offsets bargained for pension conversion is available as Bargaining Alert #5. An explanation of the ratification vote process to occur February 9th to 15th is also available under the Bargaining Alerts Tab.
