The Firefighters Union and Saint John Police Association are on board, at least for the time being, on this new direction for fixing the city's pension plan
Police Association President Jamie Hachey says it's going to be a while before they know specifically how the plan will change with recommendations expected in September after meetings are held over the summer with the provincial task force that came up with changes to the provincial government's own pension plan.
The President of Local 771 of the Firefighters Association, Paul Stackhouse says so far, so good.
Hachey says, from what he has been told, it seems to be a plan the provincial task force has come up with under promises and over delivers which will be good for both the plan's beneficiaries and city taxpayers.
