October Demonstrations in Ottawa and Toronto

Announcement on the Canadian NRPC Website:

The NRPC, in conjunction with the CAW, Teamsters, other organizations and pensioner groups, will be demonstrating en masse to hammer home the criticality of protecting employee rights including pensions, severance pay, and benefits.

While other governments, the U.S and UK, are backing former Nortel employees there, our provincial and federal governments are not involved, not even interested. We need the support of our governments. It is time to have our voices heard loud and clear.

Join the mass demonstrations calling on the Governments of Ontario and Canada to act on behalf of former Nortel employees and all Canadian pensioners

Pensions and health benefits are at serious risk
Special retirement payments have been stopped
Recently severed people did not receive their severance pay entitlement
LTD employees stand to lose almost all income and health benefits


We need everyone out for the two demonstrations including family and friends. We call on the support of the public at large and all other pensioners - you could be next!
