I fully and strongly support and am reposting here Lowell Flanders' statement in FCUNS Facebook group regarding the people we need on the UN Staff Pension Committee:
"VOTE FOR THIS SLATE!
I don't get to vote in this election because I am a retiree and not a serving staff member, but I would urge every staff member who can vote to vote for this slate of candidates, because they have the experience and knowledge to protect the Pension Fund for both serving staff and retirees. Ian, Ibrahima, and Mary, who are current Participant Reps on the Pension Board have actively worked to defend our interests as retirees, even though that is not their specific remit. We retirees are supposed to be represented by FAFICS, but if you have any idea what the position of FAFICS is on any given issue, such as the Mosaic Report or financial derivatives, please let us all know, because it is a well kept secret. We need representatives on the Pension Board who are not afraid to stand up to the big wigs and say what has to be said. You can't send people to the Pension Board who have no prior experience with pension issues - they'll be eaten alive.Vote for the candidates who will protect your interests!" -- Lowell Flanders
