Protest they are messing with my life savings as Ty Fahner and his friends LAUGH at US! Join ME! Let us protest this INJUSTICE! Pension Emergency Day December 2, 2013-- How Mad are you about what Madigan is prepared to do to us?? IEA, as a member of the We Are One Illinois coalition, is participating in a series of events statewide on December 2nd, which has been designated Pension Emergency Day. A number of meetings are occurring at 4 p.m. so active members can attend. INVITE ONE RETIRED COLLEAGUE or a dozen -- WE NEED TO MAKE WAVES!!! Although a lead union is designated for each event (list below), all unions are strongly encouraged to have a presence and send members to participate. Some unions have already indicated they will help with presence in certain areas where turnout must be combined across the coalition to be most effective. Purpose: Lawmakers are expected to convene the first week in December to act on a bipartisan proposal to slash pension benefits. It is critical that we maximize pressure on legislators, especially those who voted for SB 1 but may be concerned about backlash from our members. To do so in Springfield is logistically difficult, but targeted actions at district offices offer an opportunity to convey such outrage, even with a limited time frame. Plan: The We Are One unions will coordinate a series of such actions as part of a “Pension Emergency Day” on Monday, December 2. The action is not meant to be an attack on the legislator. Rather, with urgency and intensity, public employees and retirees will be urging targeted legislators to help save their pensions and be on their side.
