Pension post from IEA.
FYI-
Please share with your readers.
Janet Kilgus
IEA-Retired Chair
———————————————–
The following has been posted by the IEA on their website today, April 15.
Immediate action is needed to protect your pension and the pensions of other IEA members.
A pension-cutting bill, HB 3411 (known as the Nekritz-Cross bill) is expected to be called for a vote this week in the Illinois House Of Representatives.
Protect your pension:
Call 888-412-6570 to be connected with your state representative
Tell your representative to vote NO on HB 3411 and to VOTE NO any bill opposed by IEA!
The message is simple. Tell your representative:
As an IEA member living in your district I am urging you to VOTE NO on HB 3411. IEA opposes this unfair and unconstitutional legislation.
VOTE NO on all other bills opposed by IEA.
Check the IEA website, IEA Facebook and Twitter pages for updates on the pension fight.
Talk with your colleagues and make sure that, when the time comes, everyone is involved in the fight.

IEA elections. A process that would make the Chicago Machine jealous.
The last few days have seemed like a Kafkaesque journey.Or Chicago on election day.
I’m an outsider running as an IEA Retired delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly. It will be in Atlanta in July.
And who wouldn’t want to be in Atlanta in July?
But I’m not going to get elected. It’s a fixed system.
Even the Chicago Democratic Machine would be impressed.
It started when I sent in my dues check and a membership form to join IEA Retired.
By mail.
You can’t join online. Why? Who knows why? You tell me.
But my membership got lost somewhere and so I never got a nomination form to run
