Westminster Savings March & Rally

BCRCC representatives Kristine Byers and Jason Sarac joined the march and rally in support of the Westminster Savings Shaughnessy Station branch this past Friday. That branch, the credit union’s only unionized branch, is slated for closure this autumn. The reason for the closure is officially unrelated to the branch’s union status; however, employees of that branch have been on the picket line since January 22, 2019, “fighting for retirement security and against their employer’s attempts to deny access to the existing defined benefit pension plan for employees hired on or after July 1, 2018.” (Source: https://bit.ly/32fVPFB).
