加拿大提前退休养恤基金盈余计划引发了工会对退休保障和预算风险的愤怒。 Canada’s pension fund surplus plan for early retirements sparks union fury over retirement security and budget risks.

加拿大联邦政府在一项利用公共服务养恤基金剩余资金资助公务员提前退休计划的计划上面临工会的强烈反对。 批评者称该计划为“边境盗窃”且是一个危险的先例。 Canada’s federal government faces union backlash over a plan to fund an early retirement program for public servants using surplus funds from the Public Service Pension Fund, with critics calling it "borderline theft" and a dangerous precedent. 该倡议旨在加速劳动力减员,以实现预算目标,可能影响到近68 000名雇员。 The initiative, aimed at accelerating workforce attrition to meet budget targets, could affect nearly 68,000 employees. 工会认为,使用工人和雇主平等支付的养恤金缴款来节省政府储蓄会损害退休保障,将财政负担转移给年轻工人,并有失去有经验的工作人员的风险。 Unions argue that using pension contributions—paid equally by workers and employers—for government savings undermines retirement security, shifts financial burdens to younger workers, and risks losing experienced staff. 虽然政府维持的养恤基金在财政上仍然健全,而且该计划符合法律标准,但工会领导人和学术界人士警告说,养恤金的完整性和公共服务的稳定会受到长期损害。 While the government maintains the pension fund remains financially sound and the plan complies with legal standards, union leaders and academics warn of long-term damage to pension integrity and public service stability.
