Tell Congress: Protect retirees and support the Butch Lewis Act of 2017

Write to your members of Congress and tell them to support S. 2147, the Butch Lewis Act of 2017 introduced by Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and H.R. 4444, the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act introduced by Representative Richard Neal (D-MA).

Tell Congress: Protect retirees and support the Butch Lewis Act of 2017

Tell Congress: Protect retiree pensions!

For 40 years, one of the foundations of pension law was the principle that once a retiree started receiving benefits, those benefits couldn’t be taken away unless a plan ran out of money. A 2014 law changed that. The Multiemployer Pension Reform Act overturned 40 years of precedent and placed retirement in jeopardy for the 10 million workers covered by multiemployer pension plans.

Tell Congress: Protect retiree pensions!

Tell the Senate: Help workers save for retirement

At the urging of financial institutions and insurance companies, the U.S. Senate is gearing up to vote on two resolutions that would stop new initiatives to help millions of private-sector workers, many of them employees of small business, save for retirement.

Take Action: Tell Congress: Stop the so-called composite bill

Take Action: Tell Congress: Stop the so-called composite bill

Urge your members of Congress to stop a draft proposal that would send shockwaves through the nation’s multiemployer pension system. A dangerous proposal, called the “composite bill,” could be attached to must-pass year-end legislation, in this year’s lame-duck session of Congress, just as it was with the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (MPRA) two years ago.

Sign the petition! Urge your members of Congress to support the Keep Our Pension Promises Act

Urge your members of Congress to support the Keep Our Pension Promises Act, which would stop the benefit cuts imposed by the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014.  These cuts would undermine the most fundamental and sacrosanct principles of the federal private pension law, ERISA.
