Dave Bush speaks with Kevin Skerrett, a pension researcher with the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Kevin recently helped organize the workshops series Pension Funds, Unions, and Working Class Strategies. The series looked at the changing nature of pensions in Canadian society and how union strategies have fared in approaching issues such as pension coverage and progressive investment. The workshop also tried to address possible progressive strategies unions should engage in when approaching the pension issue.
This workshop series was co-sponsored by the Centre for Social Justice, Global Labour Research Centre (York University), Canada Research Chair in Political Economy (York University) and Socialist Project.
