Part Time Pension Complaint Update

On the advice of legal counsel and due to the potential cost to our Local Union, it is with great regret that our Local has decided not to appeal the Financial Services Tribunal decision.

In the event of an unsuccessful appeal, our Local would be responsible for our legal costs, Woodbine’s legal costs and court cost which together have been estimated at $70,000. To date, the costs to our Local for this case have been negligible.
