    Support Social Security Fairness on Monday, September 9th!

    The time is now to get the Social Security Fairness Act over the finish line and we need your help!

     

    As many of you are aware, the APWU has long fought to pass the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82). This bill would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which are parts of Social Security law that unfairly reduce, or sometimes eliminate, Social Security benefits for millions of postal and federal annuitants. 

     

    With immense bipartisan support in Congress, our next step is to back a discharge petition, which is a process to bring any bill sitting in committee to the House floor for a vote as long as at least 218 members of Congress sign the petition. 

     

    We are asking every APWU member to call their representative on Monday, September 9 and tell them to sign, H. Res. 1410, which would bring the Social Security Fairness Act directly to the House floor for a vote.

     

    Can you pledge today to call the APWU Legislative Hotline at 844-402-1001 on Monday and make your voice heard?

    In Solidarity,
