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

"Losing my half my pension or any part of my pension would put me in dire straits. I wouldn't be able to take care of myself," says Cindy. #PensionStories #ButchLewisAct

"If the #ButchLewisAct doesn't get through, in a few years we'll have no pension." Tom says he has paid in for 30 years and "this money went into the pension fund instead of increasing our wages, that way we'd have the money when we retired." #PensionStories

Douglas has been member of the @Teamsters for 41 years. He has four years to work before retirement, but he is very concerned about the status of his pension and the retirement of millions of workers who need to provide for their families in their later years. #PensionStories
