About Us

Pensions at Work links unions and universities in an international research project exploring the socially responsible investment of union pension funds. It is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. This project responds to a call from the trade union movement for more research and educational resources to assist union pension trustees, activists and pension staff in shaping a union pension agenda.

The research program of Pensions at Work was designed with the trade union movement by the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. It involves another six universities in Canada, the United States, and Britain. Pensions at Work is endorsed by the CLC and all affiliated provincial federations of labour.
