IEA is partnered with We Are One Illinois, a coalition of unions representing public employees from all walks of life.  This coalition is attempting to provide reasonable and reasoned solutions to a pension problem caused by politicians who for decades have failed to pay their share into Illinois public retirement systems.

 

Please see below for information for rallies that will be located throughout the state.   PLEASE urge your every member that you can to attend a rally that is most convenient for them TODAY.  These rallies were organized by IFT, one of the coalition partners.

Your Pension Is at Risk!

Despite the union's efforts to help legislative leaders find a fair solution to Illinois’ pension challenges, they now seem poised to quickly introduce and pass an unacceptable bill that will severely harm your retirement security. It could happen this week.
 
Let's send the message to legislative leaders that they should NOT fast-track critical pension legislation without time for thoughtful consideration and public debate.
