The Annual General Meeting of the Fórsa Retired Members Association (RMA) will take place on Thursday 6th March 2025 at Fórsa’s offices in Nerney’s Court at 11am. 

Over the past year, our retired members have been more active than ever, as the group takes on a greater role within the union. In recent months, chair of the RMA, Martin Bridgeman, has been travelling across the country, speaking at AGMs to promote retired membership.  

Discussing the benefits of staying involved in the union after retirement, Martin said: “Just because you’re leaving work doesn’t mean you have to leave the union. Many members don’t know that they can continue to be a member of Fórsa after they retire. In fact, not only can you stay a member, but you also continue to benefit from a wide range of benefits and stay connected to your wider union community.” 

The Retired Members Association was established to support retired members of Fórsa by providing practical, relevant advice on issues like pension rights as well as developing a vibrant community of retired individuals to socially engage and support each other in retirement. Membership is open to all retired members. You can find out more here. 

The RMA focuses on protecting pension terms and conditions, advocating for timely pension payments, and addressing issues, such as occupational pensions, state pensions, social welfare benefits, health matters, personal security, retirement planning, and public transport. 

Join the upcoming AGM to have your say, stay connected, and help shape the future of retired membership! 

Agenda, minutes and link for people attending online will be issued through branches. Motions and nominations will be accepted on the day.
