Unions

Unions and Employers are equally represented on the HEPP and HEBP Boards of Trustees.

The Healthcare Employees’ Pension Plan (HEPP) is governed by an independent, 12-member Board of Trustees.

The Healthcare Employees' Benefits Plan (HEBP) is governed by an independent, 10-member Board of Trustees.

There is equal representation on each Board from healthcare-related unions in Manitoba and from Participating Employers.

The Trustees act on behalf of the beneficiaries of the Plans to manage the organization and to manage and invest the assets of the Plans. Trustees have a fiduciary duty to all beneficiaries of the Plans and are required to act with honesty, integrity, fidelity, selflessness, utmost good faith and must concentrate solely on the interests of beneficiaries.

Only HEB Manitoba Trustees have the authority to amend the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Plans.

Neither Employers nor Unions can use Collective Agreements to change benefit levels, Plan provisions or administrative practices.
