02 Jul Dial In to Protect Pensions: Tell the Senate to Pass the Heroes Act

Posted at 13:26h in Legislative News, Pension, Retirees Corner, Take Action by

On May 15, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the HEROES Act (H.R. 6800), powerful legislation to address the economic emergency facing the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The HEROES Act includes an effective, comprehensive solution to the multiemployer pension funding crisis that would provide long-term security for pension funds, including the B&C Fund, and for beneficiaries. The BCTGM was actively involved in laborโ€™s effort to get this proposal included in the legislation.

The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate has so far refused to take action on the HEROES Act. Without strong pressure from working people, the Senate may not take action and we would lose this valuable opportunity to protect our pensions.

The AFL-CIO has set up a toll-free number for members to call their U.S. Senators. Please download and distribute this flier to co-workers and within your community and urge them to call their Senators and tell them to PASS THE HEROES ACT.Download
