Save American workers' Pensions!!!
Proposed cuts are made possible by the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014, a law that torpedoes 40 years of established federal private pension law and could ultimately impact millions of American workers and their families.
Please stand with retired truck drivers, dock workers, office workers, spouses, widows, and others who could be affected by the law by urging the Treasury Department to reject the unfair and ill-conceived cuts proposed by the Central States Pension Fund.
That's why I signed a petition to U.S. Treasury Department, which says:
"Please reject any cuts to retiree pensions. If allowed, these pension cuts would be catastrophic to individuals and their families and could lead to cuts in other severely underfunded multiemployer pension plans – affecting more than a million people. These retirees fear they will lose their homes, won’t be able to pay for medicine, and won’t be able to support their families.
The requested cuts, made possible by the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014, are extreme, ill-conceived and won’t solve the problems. We call on the Treasury Department to reject the application and to work with Congress toward a bi-partisan solution to fix underfunded multiemployer plans while preserving pension promises to workers, retirees, and their families."

Why is this important?
To protect the American workers who worked their whole lives and contributed part of their earnings so that they could live, survive and have a secure retirement- and now to have their benefits cut drastically. Many of my friends can barely make ends meet because of these cuts, but the government will bail out the Banks and Wallet Street but not hard-working American citizens-That is a disgrace and shameful!!
