AN LABOR TODAY SPECIAL REPORTTHE ATTACK ON PENSIONSThe history of pensions and the struggle to defend guaranteed income after retirement.We live in a country with private ownership of the means of production. Social Security is the only publicly guaranteed pension system in the United States. It must be defended by the working class and the trade unions. The struggle to defend and expand Social Security needs to be first on the workers 'agenda. As Joe Glazier said: "What do you do when you are too old to work and too young to die?" The demand for the 8-hour day was so that workers could have leisure time for "what they will." What good is leisure time in old age without sufficient guaranteed income?http://www.labortoday.us/

The American institution of retirement has sustained numerous attacks over the last twenty years, to the extent that it may cease to exist in its current form by the time most of today's workers reach their mid-sixties. Two of the major components of the U.S. retirement system, private pensions and Social Security, have either declined or are under attack, and thus may not be able to provide support for the elderly in the future, particularly low and middle income retirees. Changes in employment policies, volatility in investments available for retirement savings plans, and proposals to privatize Social Security threaten the financial basis for retirement itself over the next twenty years. Human beings have always structured their societies, dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, to some extent around sustaining elderly members of the population, but for almost all elderly people, work into extreme old age and disability was the norm until the twentieth century. The innovation of the last century, and specifically of Social Security, was to make retirement the mechanism for caring for the elderly, and to make retirement the norm for the elderly of all income groups. The current debate over privatizing Social Security, combined with legislative neglect of the weakening employer-provided pension system, threatens to return the United States to the pre-20th century methods of caring for the old - requiring them to work until death or disability makes work impossible, or allowing responsibility for their care and upkeep to fall on individual family members or friends. The alternative is to make moderate revisions in the institution of retirement itself; phased retirement, increased funding for Social Security benefits for lower and moderate wage workers, and exploration of a citizen-based, rather than employment-based, retirement income system, are all possible avenues to maintain retirement as an expectation for workers at all income levels.

Canada's aging population has raised cries of alarm from some quarters. Critics warn of a demographic time bomb waiting to explode and an age war over pensions as the baby boom generation starts to retire in the next decade. They say the answer is to get rid of public pension programs like the Canada Pension Plan and force people to contribute to their own personal savings plans instead. Will this spell disaster for the elderly, or is it a bold new idea for coping with rising costs? Monica Townson, a prominent independent economist, discusses the forces behind the push to privatize public pensions and looks at the likely impact of privatization on the financial security of futre seniors. She describes how Chile, under the Pinochet dictatorship, replaced its public pension plan with a forced savings scheme and became the darling of right-wing governments around the world, and how Britain, under Margaret Thatcher, introduced opting out of public pensions and triggered a major scandal involving some of the big names in the insurance industry. As the debate about pivatization heats up the new millennium, Pensions Under Attack provides the information needed to question the hidded agenda behind the current push to privatize public pensions. It will be a timely contribution to a discussion whose outcome affects the personal financial security of every Canadian.

Annotation Will privatizing public pension plans spell disaster for the elderly, or is it a bold idea for coping with rising costs? Major changes to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) were made in 1998. Most likely on future agendas will be the abolition of the CPP and its replacement with a system of mandatory RRSPs. Monica Townson looks at the forces behind this push to privatize public pensions and examines countries where privatization has already taken place. As the debate continues in the new millennium, Pensions Under Attack provides the information needed to question the agenda behind the push to privatize public pensions.

India is ageing. One response of Indian policy makers has been introduction of the New Pension Scheme (NPS), a defined contribution pension scheme which is mandatory for civil servants and voluntary for the rest of the population. Given the size of the target population, even if take-up is modest, NPS savings may soon provide huge amounts of capital to India's economy. However, challenges are abound. What governance structure will best achieve the ultimate policy goal of serving the needs of savers? What business processes and information technology design will serve members best? How effectively will the NPS attack the problem of old-age poverty? In this book, a multi-disciplinary international team, comprising of economists, lawyers, pension management experts, and capital market experts, explore these and other questions. The book proposes significant legal, regulatory, and governance reforms for the NPS and other existing pension schemes, as well. It finds that current NPS business practices cannot keep pace with potential growth of the system and makes suggestions on how to take better advantage of information technology. Based on review of experience elsewhere and state-of-the-art economic-demographic modelling, it warns that the NPS in its current form does not address the retirement income needs of the lifelong very poor, suggesting that it is only one in a range of responses needed to cope with the challenges of population ageing in India.

When Steven Burd, CEO of the supermarket chain Safeway, cut wages and benefits, starting a five-month strike by 59,000 unionized workers, he was confident he would win. But where traditional labor action failed, a novel approach was more successful. With the aid of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, a $300 billion pension fund, workers led a shareholder revolt that unseated three of Burd’s boardroom allies. In The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder: Labor's Last Best Weapon, David Webber uses cases such as Safeway’s to shine a light on labor’s most potent remaining weapon: its multitrillion-dollar pension funds. Outmaneuvered at the bargaining table and under constant assault in Washington, state houses, and the courts, worker organizations are beginning to exercise muscle through markets. Shareholder activism has been used to divest from anti-labor companies, gun makers, and tobacco; diversify corporate boards; support Occupy Wall Street; force global warming onto the corporate agenda; create jobs; and challenge outlandish CEO pay. Webber argues that workers have found in labor’s capital a potent strategy against their exploiters. He explains the tactic’s surmountable difficulties even as he cautions that corporate interests are already working to deny labor’s access to this powerful and underused tool. The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder is a rare good-news story for American workers, an opportunity hiding in plain sight. Combining legal rigor with inspiring narratives of labor victory, Webber shows how workers can wield their own capital to reclaim their strength.
