Online PD program “Changing the Pension Bargain: From Defined Benefit to Defined Contribution and Beyond”
June 5, 2012

Presented by the CBA's National Labour and Employment Law Section live via webconference

Conversions of defined benefit (DB) pension plans to defined contribution (DC) pension plans have been gaining momentum as a result of a number of factors, including affordability, demographic shifts in the labour force, and global economic challenges affecting both markets and corporate security. Union and management lawyers face many challenges in navigating these transitions with their clients.

The significance of pronouncements in recent related cases in courts and tribunals, along with practical strategies and tips for negotiating revised pension provisions in collective agreements will be addressed.

Join our expert panellists to learn more about this rapidly changing legal landscape.

Speakers:
Randy Bauslaugh, McCarthy Tétrault LLP
Ronald Pink, Q.C., Pink Larkin
