Q: What does AUPE’s Standing Committee on Pensions do?
A: Generally speaking, the Pension Committee represents AUPE members on all questions relating to the protection and enhancement of their pensions. Certain members of the committee or AUPE sit on the boards of the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP) and the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). The committee also has a number of specific duties assigned by AUPE’s Convention and Provincial Executive.
Q: Who may become a member of the committee? How do I become a member of the Pension Committee?
A: Any AUPE member in good standing who has the approval of the President of AUPE can be appointed to the Pension Committee. Candidates for membership on the committee should have a strong interest in pension issues, sufficient time to commit to attend committee meetings and a willingness to pitch in and work hard. If you are interested in membership on this committee, you should write a letter or email to the President of AUPE, expressing your interest and giving reasons why you think you would be a good candidate. The selection is made by the President, with the advice of the Executive Secretary-Treasurer, who is the Chair of this committee. Applicants for positions on this committee need to remember that many members are interested in this important volunteer job and that only a few can be appointed. All expressions of interest are gratefully received.
Q: Are all AUPE members participants in the same pension plan?
A: No. The largest number of AUPE members are enrolled in either the LAPPor the PSPP. Some other AUPE members have other pension arrangements. Click here to go to the PSPP and LAPP websites.
Q: Does AUPE have representation on the boards of pension plans in which its members are enrolled?
A: AUPE has representatives on the boards of the LAPP and the PSPP.
AUPE members are alarmed by Premier Danielle Smith’s proposal to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). Members know that we deserve pensions that work for us, not the risky and expensive political games required to leave the CPP.
Your AUPE Pensions Committee hears your concerns loud and clear. We have created this campaign letter to help you stand up for your pensions.
