IBEW Local 37 members attended a pension rally on October 18th in Fredericton. The rally was organized by a coalition of unions interested in reforming the Public Service Superannuation Pension Plan. One of the chief issues with the plan is the significant drop in pension revenue that occurs once an individual reaches the age of 65.
