Sen. Bob Casey Announces Pension Relief Bill
March 23, 2010
(CARLISLE, Pa.) – Teamster truck drivers were the first to hear Sen. Bob Casey’s plan to stabilize multi-employer pension plans and save thousands of jobs.
They were on hand March 22 at the YRCW loading dock in Carlisle, Penn., where Casey announced that he would file the “Create Jobs and Save Benefits Act of 2010.”
The bill is extremely important to the Teamsters, who have been working with Sen. Casey on it. It’s similar to a House bill that the Teamsters already support, The Preserve Benefits and Jobs Act.
That bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., and Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio. Teamsters have sent thousands of e-mails to Congress urging their elected representative to pass the Pomeroy-Tiberi bill.
