Our FRS Pensions Could Vanish
We the undersigned (United Teachers of Dade Retired Union) demand that the Florida Retirement System (FRS) continue to give employees a traditional Defined Benefit Retirement Plan as their default selection.
Why is this important?
The 2017 Florida Legislature is in session. Once again, there are those who wish to eliminate the Defined Benefit Pensions we currently receive. We need to defeat any plan which seeks to privatize our FRS by putting people into 401K type plans that jeopardize their retirement funds by tying them to the whims of Wall Street . The FRS is a sound and stellar system which must be preserved for the benefit of current and future retirees. This is a critical issue in this year's legislative session, and the United Teachers of Dade Retiree Chapter urges all to sign this petition to have your voices heard.
