Worried about your pension? Gov. Cuomo is giving you good reason to be.
Posted on January 31, 2012

Gov. Cuomo’s 2012 budget calls for the addition of Tier 6 to the retirement system. In addition to forcing new employees to work longer for a smaller benefit, the new tier offers a dangerous 401(k) option. How is it dangerous? New employees will have little choice BUT the 401(k) option, as the Tier 6 option is such a degraded benefit. As more employees choose to put their money into 401(k)s, less money will go into the pension system, until the fund becomes insolvent and can no longer pay out pensions.

We have the opportunity to STOP this from happening, but we need your HELP! Please join for a short training on the facts about Tier 6 and how we can fight to protect our pensions!

WHERE: CSEA Satellite Office
3495 Winton Place
Bldg E, Suite 3
Rochester, NY 14623

WHEN: Saturday, February 4th, 2012
10:30 AM – 1:00 PM

RSVP: Please call 716-691-6555 or reply to this email. Breakfast & lunch will be served, so we need an accurate headcount.

Fran Turner, Director of Legislative and Political Action for CSEA will be in Rochester to conduct the training. It is important that all of our members attend to learn the facts about these proposed changes to our pension system and how we can stop this legislation!
