CUPE 1936 members at QMUNITY join pension plan

CUPE 1936 members at QMUNITY join pension plan

VANCOUVER—Following months of negotiations with the employer and ratification by the membership, CUPE Local 1936 and the non-profit organization QMUNITY have now submitted their application to join the Multi-Sector Pension Plan (MSPP).

During collective bargaining last year, CUPE Local 1936 and QMUNITY agreed to terms to join a pension plan. Following a participation agreement reached last week, the employer and employees will contribute a percentage of wages to the pension plan each month, with a lifetime pension paid to employees upon their retirement. The enrollment in the MSPP is still subject to the approval of the board.

“Joining the pension plan is a significant step for our members’ financial security during retirement and will result in greater employee commitment and satisfaction,” said CUPE 1936 member Rana Nourallah (she/her), who sat on the bargaining committee.

“We commend the employer for recognizing the value that a pension plan brings to improving QMUNITY’s recruitment and retention efforts as well as investing in the experience and skills of its employees.”

CUPE 1936 represents seven members at QMUNITY, a Vancouver-based non-profit organization that works to improve queer, trans, and Two-Spirit lives.

The MSPP is a multi-employer target benefit pension plan sponsored by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and managed by an appointed Board of Trustees.
