Dear Friend:
On July 10, the powerful House Ways and Means Committee approved The Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act (H.R. 397) which strengthens pension plans and avoids retiree benefit reductions through long-term, low-interest loans to eligible plans such as the B&C Fund.
The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote next week on this vital legislation to address the nation’s growing pension funding crisis.
It is critical that all BCTGM members, retirees together with families and friends, urge their U.S. Representatives to vote for H.R. 397: Take Action from the BCTGM E-Activist Center here.
This legislation is important to ALL BCTGM members with collectively bargained pensions.
Already emailed your Representatives? GREAT! Please keep sending letters urging passage of this vital legislation!
Want to do more? Download this flier and hand it out to other workers, friends, family and community members.
Thank you for all you continue to do to help in this important effort to save pension benefits.
In solidarity,
David
David B. Durkee, BCTGM International Union President
