“Pension Fund Capitalism and the Covid-19 Pandemic” Program Description
On this episode of Planet Haliburton we take a look at the relationship between the Covid-19 Pandemic, the incredible rate of infection and death in our Long Term Facilities and the investment practices of large public sector pension funds.
It’s no secret that the SARS-Cov-2 virus has wrecked disportioncate havoc among elderly residents of our country’s Long Term Care Facilities.
Less attention has been paid to who owns and operates those private for-profit long term care facilities and why private facilities are experiencing higher than average rates of infection and death.
Join me for a conversation about the connections between Covid-19, for-profit long term care, and public sector pension funds with Kevin Skerrett, a long time researcher with the Canadian Union of Public Employees and an author of the 2018 book “The Contradictions of Pension Fund Capitalism”.
