Federal workers could be facing a pay cut as soon as tomorrow! The so-called budget deal is expected to contain a proposal to double what federal employees pay for their pension beginning next year.
Call 1-888-775-3148 today and ask your Representative to support the retirement security of federal employees.
Federal workers have sacrificed well over $113 billion for deficit reduction since 2011, including a three-year pay freeze, increased pension contributions for newly hired employees, up to eight furlough days caused by sequestration this summer, and a 16-day shutdown this fall which resulted in financial hardship and profound anxiety for half the government’s workforce and their families.
Nevertheless, increasing the pension contributions of current federal employees is still on the table in the budget conference discussions designed to finance a two-year lifting of sequestration. The proposal would effectively cut the take-home pay of federal employees who are already hurting.
There are other ways to reduce the deficit than continually taking from hard-working, middle class Americans whose only sin has been to dedicate their lives to public service.
Please call 1-888-775-3148 today and ask your Senators and Member of Congress to urge the Budget Conference Committee to end Sequestration but not by forcing any changes to federal retirement or Social Security.
