WAWCON Survey

Breguet: To repeat your question: :Therefore, it is true that ACPA is conducting a survey (WAWCON) to seek approval to cut pension benefits of retirees?"

The answer is still no. A survey does not seek permission, but solicits an opinion from the members of the organization. This opinion is used to assist it forming policy. It does NOT seek permission. A VOTE, on the other hand, is the method used by a union to direct the MEC on policy and actions. Even then, the actions and/or policy must be legal.

The rumours generated by the survey propagated through the retirement community. ACPA released a statement confirming that current retirement benefits are NOT being changed.

My original answer to you stands.
