ATTENTION ALL IBEW MEMBERS

YOUR PENSION PLANS ARE UNDER ATTACK !!!

Brothers and Sisters

IBEW’s 155 local multiemployer pension plans as well as the National Electrical Benefit Fund (NEBF) are under attack by the recently introduced, Grassley-Alexander plan. If passed, this legislation will render the current multiemployer pension system unsustainable and rapidly result in government-induced market failure.

It would increase risks to multiemployer pension plans by:

Drastically increasing PBGC premiums
Creating new co-pays and taxes on active workers and retirees
Capping the discount rate that would require plans to increase contributions and cut benefits.

THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE!!!

Our members work hard and deserve the opportunity to retire with dignity and security. Our own Federal Government / Legislators should not be creating ways to take that away from us. I ask that we stand together and act today. Contact your Senator and speak out against the Grassley-Alexander plan. Let’s send a clear message to those in DC to “KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OUR PENSIONS!!!”
