Shelly Banks served as SEIU-West Vice President from 2008-2015. Her invaluable and outstanding contributions have made a significant and lasting impact on members and our union.
The linked SHEPP Pension Bulletin outlines some of the basics of pension indexation, or protection against inflation, for pension plans. It also provides a summary of SHEPP’s past indexation and an update on the current funding status of the plan. Finally, the bulletin concludes with an important proposal for benefit improvements that has been agreed upon by all five of the Unions (SEIU-West, CUPE, SGEU, SUN, and HSAS) representing SHEPP members.
There is an urgent need for a key improvement to the plan's benefits to protect current and future retirees from the impact of inflation.
