A coalition of labour and retiree organizations are calling on the Ontario and federal governments to protect pensions in the face of the economic crisis.
Canadian Auto Workers president Ken Lewenza says retirees helped to build Canada and should be guaranteed a secure source of income. The coalition was formed after Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said the province's pension guarantee fund won't be able to support retirees if General Motors were to go out of business.
The coalition will hold a rally at Queen's Park on Thursday.
