Pensions – Your Deferred Wages

NSGEU is committed to keeping the ‘pension promise’ for our members, that is to say that we do everything in our power to ensure that our members have financial security in their retirement years.

Pensions are your deferred wages and they are part of your employment contract. We need to protect and develop pensions today so we won’t be impoverished tomorrow. Unfortunately, most workers today, including some of our members, don’t belong to a workplace pension plan.

A pension is not only important for the well-being of the family in retirement, but is a recruitment and retention tool as well. Many young and experienced workers choose an employer because of the promise of a good pension plan.

A pension plan is important because it provides for financial security at retirement. The NSGEU is focused on improving the benefits for members in current pension plans and garnering access to pension plans for members who are without. We are focused on education for our members on their rights to their deferred wages and a retirement with dignity.
