Thanks to all who participated in today's hearing. Thanks to the JSC members who attended today's important hearing, and thanks to the witnesses for their testimony...whether we agreed with them or not! Special thanks to our retired Teamster Brother Ken Stribling not only for his compelling testimony today to the committee, but for his dogged determination the last 4 years in helping us find a solution to the multiemployer pension crisis. After hearing Brother Stribling's personal story, it's amazing what's he been able to accomplish in Wisconsin and across the country with all that he has going on in his personal life! I would encourage EVERYONE to watch his testimony if you watch any of today's hearing video.
Thanks to all my Brothers and Sisters for trudging down to DC again and for spending your precious time away from your families again and for enduring the ongoing financial burden of traveling!
