On January 21 at 10 AM, the Texas AFL-CIO will begin a meeting to set up the Alliance for Retired Americans as a statewide group. The meeting will be at 1106 Lavaca in downtown Austin. As the attacks on our pensions, health care, and Social Security mount, it is more and more apparent that our scattered retiree groups are not adequate to defend our rights.
Texas AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Becky Moeller writes, "This is the planning meeting where the final steps for formation of/and merger of the Texas AFL-CIO State Retiree group into the ARA will be discussed. The founding convention will be scheduled at this meeting."
Even as these plans are being made, congress is attempting to pass major budget cuts that will affect seniors. We are asked to call our representatives toll-free at 1-800-393-1082.
