Reminder: Tell Your Lawmakers to Fix Tier 2!
As you may know, IFT and We Are One Illinois union coalition recently introduced the Fair Recruitment and Retirement Act, our proposal to improve Tier 2 pensions. Our shared goal is to pass this legislation during the upcoming lame duck session in January.
The Fair Retirement and Recruitment Act would lower the retirement age, improve salary calculations and cost-of-living adjustments, and fix the “safe harbor” problem. This legislation is a much-needed fix to the broken Tier 2 pension system.
As a leader in your community, your voice carries significant weight with your state legislators. You can help us pass this bill by calling your state senator and representative and asking them to co-sponsor it before the lame duck session begins.
For more information about the bill, please find the fact sheet at fixtier2.com/legislation.
Please call to ask your legislators to cosponsor the bill before Wednesday, December 18, to make sure your voice is heard. The more cosponsors we gain before the holiday break, the more likely we will successfully pass this legislation in January.
Thank you for taking action! Learn more about why we must Fix Tier 2 here!
