INFLATION ADJUSTMENT ACCOUNT UPDATE
The BCTF consultation process on the IAA has ended. Close to 8,000 in total responded to the IAA survey. Approximately half were retirees – recipients of a Teacher Pension Plan (TPP) pension. Many BCRTA members contributed to the consultation meetings in each BCTF local. Thanks to those who took time to participate at meetings and the online survey. The BCTF Pension committee (includes two representatives of the BCRTA) will analyze the results, and make recommendations to the BCTF Executive. Recommendations will be brought to the BCTF AGM in March. BCTF resolutions related to pensions will be on the BCRTA web site as soon as available. BCRTA delegates to the BCTF AGM will be meeting on January 25, 2010 to consider pension recommendations and resolutions. Stay tuned here for pension updates.
