From Bill Londrigan:

As you know the Senate is back in session and the most critical piece of legislation that is currently pending is HR6800 – The Heroes Act. 

The Heroes Act contains numerous provisions to help those impacted by the pandemic as well as the extension of critical Unemployment Insurance benefits ($600.00) through January 2021 and for some through March 2021.  There are provisions for $13.00 per hour hazard pay, rental assistance, support for state and local governments, OSHA standards and regulations, expanded health care coverage and so much more.  While there are numerous essential provisions there is one element regarding safeguarding pensions which is inadequate. 

Clearly, there will be major negotiations about this bill.  But on balance it is critically important that it be passed with the major provisions intact in order to protect the lives of millions of workers and their families.

And, as we all know, our US Senator Mitch McConnell is the key to getting this done.  That is why it is EXTREMELY URGENT THAT ALL OF US AND OUR FAMILIES MAKE AS MANY CALLS AS POSSIBLE TO McConnell’s OFFICE TODAY AND ESPECIALLY TOMORROW DURING THE NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION!  

In order to get Senator McConnell’s attention we need hundreds if not thousands of calls to let him know how critical it is for HR 6800 to be called and passed immediately.  So please share this number with your members and their families via email and social media TODAY and TOMORROW! 

In Solidarity, Bill.
