McGill Plans on Cutting $1 Million from your Benefits

This petition was published by Kevin Whittaker on Aug 06, 2009

McGill is proposing to cut $1 million dollars from the staff health and dental plans as a cost-saving initiative. We believe that this decision creates an unfair burden to members of the community, particularly those with lower salaries.

Above all, this decision is unjust. After years of service employees should not be punished.

McGill continues to hire high-level administrators and create new offices, producing more financial strain. To do so at the same time as proposing cuts at the expense of our benefits is incomprehensible. Can the administration explain why?

Join us in saying “No” to sacrificing our health and retirees for saving $1 Million out of a $1 Billion budget!

We the undersigned demand that the Board of Governors reconsider its position on the proposed $1 million cut to staff benefits from the McGill annual budget.
