Members of Congress are going to introduce a bill to allow any "deeply troubled" pension plan to cut the pensions of those already retired and those with already-earned pension credits.

This bill, which is supported by employer groups, the Central States Pension Fund, and the Hoffa administration, would give a green light to corporate America to cut pensions that have already been earned. This is presently illegal under ERISA, which includes an "anti-cutback" provision.

We expect the Central States Fund to testify on October 10 in favor of the plan to cut pensions. Do they speak for you?

We oppose this plan to cut pensions. So do others, such as the Pension Rights Center and the AARP. You can read the AARP statement on this proposal for yourself.

If you want to oppose this bill, the time is now to take action.

Tell Congress to keep the ERISA anti-cutback rule to protect the pension you earned. Ask your representatives to support the AARP proposals. And pass on info from the TDU website to other active and retired Teamsters.
