Urge the Senate to Act Now – Before Their Month-Long Recess

July 28, 2005

washington dcUrge the Senate to Act Now – Before Their Month-Long Recess

One month ago the House of Representatives made a decisive statement in support of our pensions and for the protection of retirement security for all Americans. The House overwhelmingly passed an amendment to an appropriations bill with bipartisan support to prohibit the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) from spending funds on the termination of pension plans. Following the House vote, Illinois Senator Durbin issued a statement making "clear that the management of United Airlines needs to sit down with the flight attendants to reach a fair agreement to protect pension rights,” and stated, “Absent that, we will not rule out Senate action."

Still the Senate has been slow to act and now is poised to recess for a month without taking a stand for our pensions or the retirement security of all Americans.

We have experienced first hand the extraordinary political and monetary capital spent by current United Airlines management in making sure that we do not receive the pensions we were promised. Your Senators need to hear from you now!

Call your Senators today and demand that they act on legislation that preserves our United Flight Attendant pension plan.
