New Seniors Group Gets Meeting with Company


A group of seniors concerned over the pensions of former Abitibi-Bowater employees is being given an audience with the company.

Allan Bedard, chair of the group, Seniors and Retirees Against Pension and Elder Abuse, says company officials asked for the meeting to take place later this month.

It comes after the group just made itself public.

The group is concerned over a recent reduction in pension payouts and the future of the fund.
