The Commission de la construction is notably responsible for administering the various supplementary social benefit plans in the industry, such as life insurance, salary insurance in the event of disability and others.
The dispute between the parties concerns administration costs related to several employee benefit plans that were improperly charged to the workers’ pension plan, according to the five unions.
The pension plan would thus have been deprived of an amount that the unions estimate at 110.2 million for the years 2018 to 2020.
In their motion, the five unions are therefore asking the Superior Court to declare that only the administration costs incurred by the Commission de la construction for the pension plan can be charged to the pension plan.
They are also asking the Superior Court to order the Construction Commission to reimburse the pension plan fund the sum of $110.2 million plus interest.
The five applicant unions are the FTQ-Construction, the Quebec Provincial Council of Construction Trades (international), the Syndicat québécois de la construction, the CSD-Construction and the CSN-Construction.
