EDMONTON — Labour groups hope to pressure Alberta to accept federal proposals to improve pensions.
In June, Alberta Finance Minister Ted Morton said the province will not support a proposed expansion of the Canada Pension Plan.
The Alberta Federation of Labour is launching a campaign with the Canadian Labour Congress that it hopes will change that position.
AFL President Gil McGowan says Canadians face a looming retirement income crisis and expanding the Canada Pension Plan is the best way to deal with it.
