Your Pension
Your defined benefit pension is something to be proud of. It’s a hard-won benefit and tangible example of how union membership gives workers an advantage when safeguarding their security and standard of living as we age.

Nurses' Pension Governance Review
During Nurses' Bargaining Association (NBA) 2019-2022 contract negotiations, BCNU negotiated a nurses' pension governance review process to study important options for the future of members' pensions. This process has concluded, and it has been determined that having the NBA nurse pension remain within the Municipal Pension Plan as-is, without any changes, affords the most protection and long-term assurance to members. See our Nov. 9 bulletin for more details.
