Retirees
Retired Members Page
We have had a few requests to see if we could get a retired members page up onto the website as a way to keep track of all of our retirees now that their numbers are growing quickly. The answer is yes of course we can! We have January through May 2019 up so far and will keep adding as soon as we can get updated retired members lists. You can find the page under the members tab in the top menu or by clicking the pic below.

Retirees and Driving
As retired workers, we spend more time in our vehicles. With the new driving laws now in effect, here are a few tips, courtesy of Finch Chevrolet in London.. Distracted Driving Know what counts as distracted driving – and the penalties you could face for it – before you get behind the wheel.

Retired Worker’s Authorization Form
October 10, 2018 Brian Ginty and the retiree committee held their monthly retiree’s meeting at the Local 88 hall. It is always enjoyable to speak and see the retirees at this meeting. One issue that remains outstanding is the required amount of retirees to sign and return the ” Retired Worker’s Authorization For Check-Off Dues”. I have attached the form for all retirees to sign and return to our Hall at: 364 Victoria Street P.O. Box 158 Ingersoll, Ontario N5C 3K5 In order to become an official Retiree Committee we need to have over a 100 members to be paying dues and these dues are only for the use of the retiree committee events and their members.
