The ACTU has launched a superannuation web site designed to inform and educate workers about super.“The introduction of choice of fund means that many employees will be looking for information about super” said ACTU Secretary Greg Combet.
The site provides a wealth of information including:
* Employees’ entitlements to superannuation
* Information about choice of fund
* The inadequacy of many employees’ retirement incomes
* ACTU policy and submissions on superannuation and corporate governance.
The site also provides a history of super in Australia.
“Many people are not aware that universal superannuation is a relatively new entitlement and that in the 1980’s union members campaigned for its introduction. In 1985 only 39% of employees had super, now 97% have super” said Greg Combet.
