Rally Doubleheader Tomorrow
Monday, July 1, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Saying that it would reduce Social Security
benefits, the Maryland/DC Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA), AFGE Local 1923
and their allies will rally tomorrow against the proposed “Chained CPI.” The ARA
warns
that the seemingly arcane change in cost-of-living adjustments to Social
Security benefits could cost retirees thousands of dollars. “The chained CPI
is
a back door way of trying to balance the budget on the backs of America’s
seniors!” says ARA. The noontime rally on Tuesday will be at Social Security
National Headquarters in Baltimore. Also at noon tomorrow, CWA is heading up
a "Give Me
5" demo in front of the Chamber of Commerce (downtown
DC, Connecticut & I) about the urgent need to get confirmation of the
full five members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). See On The
Line above for
full details on both events.
