Q. How does the existence of this association reflect on the relationship of the pensioners with INVISTA(Canada)?

A. While we were active employees our involvement in the company's ongoing businesses allowed us "sense" the state of the relationship between the company and its employees and pensioners. We also had at any point in time a "sense" of the future. Now that we are outside the main stream, we find ourselves ill-informed and out of touch. While the Pensioner Hotline arrangement provides a facility for us to inquire as to the personal concerns and questions we may have, many of us have found this does not fully provide the level of information we would prefer. The formation of an association provides an opportunity for us to communicate with each other, to exchange views, and to collectively pursue common issues and concerns. It is not intended that this arrangement detract from the relationship of individual pensioners with INVISTA(Canada) but rather that it supplement that
relationship.
