The Retired Teachers Association of Manitoba - In search of fairness

I met, this week with members of the Retired Teachers Association of Manitoba (RTAM). They are looking for fairness. For quite a number of years now, their pensions have been falling behind the cost of living because they have had virtually no cost of living increase. It is making it difficult for retired teachers.

Though the RTAM has been raising this issue with the NDP government for some time, there has been little action. Last year we had a large rally in front of the Manitoba Legislature. It is time to resolve this issue to ensure that retired teachers are treated fairly.
