Dear Friend,
The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to debate and vote on the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act (H.R. 397), also known as the Butch Lewis Act, THIS WEDNESDAY.
Tell your Member of Congress that you support the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act (HR 397) NOW.
If passed and signed into law, the legislation would provide low-interest government loans to struggling multiemployer plans, including the AFM-EPF. These loans would provide enough money for a multiemployer fund to pay current retirees and beneficiaries their benefits for life, which would allow the fund to grow back to stronger financial footing.
When musicians stand together and fight—we win.
In Unity,
Ray Hair
AFM International President
