A Statement of the AFL-CIO Retirement Security Working Group on the Grassley-Alexander Multiemployer Pension Plan Proposal: (1/12) #1u 
After a lifetime of hard work, working people deserve to retire with dignity. The labor movement is proud of our negotiated multiemployer pension plans, which have provided retirement income security for millions of working people for decades. (2/12)
Now, as a result of reckless Wall Street behavior, industry deregulation and employers’ creative use of corporate bankruptcy, important parts of that multiemployer pension system are at risk. (3/12)

WATCH: Workers and retirees discuss the need for the #ButchLewisAct as a solution to the millions of pensions that are at risk.
Retirement security is an American value, and we must #ProtectOurPensions so that retirees can get the benefits they earned. RT if you agree!

The Butch Lewis Act ensures there are no cuts to pensions that are at risk of failure. Letting down retirees who paid into the earned benefit of a pension is not an option. It is our job to ensure we keep the pension promise made to our workers and retirees. #ProtectOurPensions
Thank you to all the @Teamsters, workers and retirees who shared their stories and are fighting every day to protect the retirement security of millions of Americans.
Millions of pensions are at risk unless we act to #ProtectOurPensions. Over the next few days we will be sharing the #PensionStories of workers and retirees who are counting on their pension and discussing the need for the #ButchLewisAct. #ABetterDeal cc: @Teamsters
Carol Jones drove a truck for 30 years and paid into the earned benefit of a pension. Carol warns if his pension is cut, his family will be devastated. #ButchLewisAct #PensionStories
Ernest has been a member of the @Teamsters for 54 years. His medical costs keep rising and if his pension is cut, he warns he could lose his home. "We need this reform. Hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed if this happens." #PensionStories #ButchLewisAct
