SENATE DEMOCRATS TO STAND WITH WORKERS & RETIREES AS THEY DEMAND ACTION TO PROTECT PENSIONS AND HEALTH CARE THAT WORKERS HAVE EARNED
Pension Crisis Threatens 1-1.5 Million Workers And Retirees Nationwide, And Could Put Small Businesses Across Country In Jeopardy
The House Passed A Solution In July, But Leader McConnell Has Betrayed Hardworking Americans By Refusing To Act
Event will be livestreamed HERE.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Patty Murray (D-WA), and Ron Wyden (D-OR) on Wednesday will join workers and retirees from across the country to demand Senate action to protect the pensions and health care that workers have earned. The pension crisis threatens the retirement of more than 1-1.5 million workers and retirees nationwide and could put small businesses across the country in jeopardy. These miners, truck drivers, carpenters, bakers and others worked hard all their lives and gave up raises at the bargaining table in order to put that money toward retirement for themselves and their families. Now that retirement is at risk because Senate Republican leadership has failed to do its job. The House already passed a solution to protect these pensions and health care benefits, but Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has betrayed workers and retirees by refusing to act.
Democrats will rally with workers and retirees on Wednesday as they demand Senate action from Leader McConnell.
