ACTU Launches SuperWeb Site

The ACTU has launched a new superannuation web site designed to inform and educate union members and employees about super.

"The introduction of choice of fund means that many employees will be looking for information about super. This web site is a good source of information" said ACTU 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 i s 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" Greg Combet said.

The web site provides links to industry funds and Industry Fund Financial Planning - a financial planning group that does not charge commissions.
