SENATOR CONTACT KIT

INTRODUCTION

You have probably contacted us because you received the “MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD” post

card from the Fund asking you to call your Senator. It is critical that we mobilize at this critical

moment in time and ask Senators to support multi-employer pension plan relief in the next Covid-

19 Stimulus Bill.

This Kit has been developed to assist you in preparing for your contact with your two U.S.

Senators.

The goal of this effort is to have large numbers of retirees, beneficiaries, active and inactive

workers, employers and union officials associated with the GCC/IBT, and other labor unions,

contact their Senators, preferably by phone or electronic message. The timing is such that a

regular letter is not likely to reach Senators in time and face to face visits are unlikely to be

accepted because of the Pandemic.

In this Kit, you will find not only the Senator telephone numbers and fax numbers where applicable

but also the addresses for all 100 U.S. Senators as well as other information and tips on how to

contact your Senators’ by telephone, fax (where applicable) and other electronic means.

Read through the contents slowly and carefully to get a better feel for how you may wish to contact

your Senators.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

1. Including legislation in the next Covid-19 Stimulus bill to fix the MULTI-EMPLOYER

PENSION CRISIS! Congress has kicked the can down the road for 10 years on this issue

and unless they are pressured at this moment in time, they are likely to kick the can even

further down the road. Congress has bailed out the Airlines, the Auto industry, Banks and

Wall Street. Isn’t it about time they resolve the pension crisis. If this crisis is not addressed

soon, the result will be:

a) the insolvency of many more multi-employer pension plans, including the GCC/IBT

National Pension Fund;

b) the reduction and/or loss of participant pension benefits to the detriment of retirees,

active workers and beneficiaries; and

c) immeasurable harm to an already fragile economy as inaction will result in the

ultimate solution being much more costly than if it was to be addressed today.

If your Senators are Democrats, tell them how important it is that they not cave in to the

argument that the Covid-19 legislation should only be utilized to address Covid-19 related

matters.

Tell them retirees, beneficiaries, and workers have been neglected in favor of the likes of the

airline industry, auto industry, banks and Wall Street for too long and that this will be an

important issue for you on Election Day.

Tell them that the anxiety you live with on a daily basis worrying about whether your pension

will be there is growing and that the negative impact of a Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation (the federal entity that insures multiemployer pension funds) insolvency is

immeasurable and will harm to you and millions or similarly situated individuals nation wide.

If your Senators are Republicans and are up for election this fall, use your vote as

leverage and tell them retirees, beneficiaries, and workers have been neglected in favor of

the likes of the airline industry, auto industry, banks and Wall Street for too long and that this

will be an important issue for you on Election Day. Tell them that the anxiety you live with

on daily basis worrying about whether your pension will be there is growing and that the

negative impact of a Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the federal entity that insures

multiemployer pension funds) insolvency is immeasurable and will harm to you and millions

or similarly situated individuals nation wide. Tell them that this issue is very important to you

and that you hope it is also high on their list of priorities.

2. Resolving the inadequate funding of the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation

(PBGC). The PBGC is the arm of the federal government that insures pension plans and it

recently announced that it will become insolvent in 2025 if no action is taken by Congress.

KNOW THE SPECIFICS

1. What bill are you supporting? – HR6800, “the Heroes Act”, passed by the House of

Representatives on May 15, 2020, and more specifically, “the Emergency Pension Plan

Relief Act” contained within the Heroes Act.

2. What does HR6800 say? – HR6800 contains the “Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act”

(“EPPRA”). EPPRA calls for adequate funding for the PBGC and allows expansion of the so

called partition process allowing pension plans

A. In critical and declining status (like the National Pension Fund),

B. Poorly funded plans with high ratios of retirees to active participants (like the National

Pension Fund),

C. Plans that have already suspended benefits, or certain plans that have already

become insolvent, to avail themselves of the partition tool.

This Act is designed to resolve the financial issues facing multi-employer pension funds and

safeguard your pension.

3. Under the Heroes Act, the special partition program would be available to plans meeting one

of the above criteria through 2024. Plans that are partitioned would need to restore any

benefits previously cut or suspended.

4. How does the proposed bill impact you and the Senators’ other similarly situated

constituents? – The pensions of retirees and current workers, like yourself, were earned

during years of hard work. To gain pension benefits, you gave up pay raises and other

benefits. It is not your fault that these plans are on the verge of insolvency, but this awful

situation will lead to a minimum of harsh benefit cuts and possibly termination of pension

benefits if the PBGC goes insolvent. The loss of these pension benefits will result in serious

hardship to you in retirement and at this stage of your life there is no way for you to replace

the pension income that you were promised and depend on.

HOW DO I CONTACT MY SENATORS?

1. You have several methods you can use to timely convey your feeling to your Senators! You

can contact them by:

a) Telephone (Senator phone numbers provided herein);

b) Electronic message/email (web address to send automated pre-written messages to

your Senators discussed herein); and

c) Fax (Senator fax numbers provided herein, where applicable)

HOW DO I CALL A SENATORS OFFICE?

1. Call your Senators’ Washington, DC office, give the receptionist your name and ask to

speak to the aid/staffer handling the multiemployer pension crisis issue.

2. Provide the aid/staffer with the information you would include in a letter:

a) Introduce yourself, tell the staffer where you are from, and, that you are a participant

in the GCC/IBT National Pension Fund.

b) Tell the staffer what you want - be specific! Give him/her the bill number (HR6800), a

very brief summary, and why the bill is important to you.

c) Make it personal and explain how a reduction or termination of your pension benefits

would affect you.

d) If (s)he asks you a question you cannot answer, do not panic! Tell him/her you will

get back to him/her with that information. If you need help with the additional

information, email us at [email protected] or call us at the Fund Office (630) 871-

7733 and we will do our best to assist you. We can even set up a call with you to talk

you through this exercise.

e) Be brief. These folks are as busy as you are!

f) If the staffer is not available, leave a message . . . and call back the next day, just for

good measure! (S)he might be busy when you call, so suggest setting up a phone

meeting at a mutually convenient time.

HOW CAN I SEND AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE TO MY SENATORS?

The Fund has partnered with “The Action Network” to provide you with an easy on-line method to

send a pre-written electronic message directly to your Senators. Visit the following site:

www.actionnetwork.org/letters/letter-to-senators

This website will provide you with a summary of how this crisis has developed over time and by

entering your contact information, it will allow you to send a pre-written message directly to your

individual Senators. In the alternative, you can modify the message to be sent to your Senators

but do your best to keep it brief and to the point.

In the next section you will see that you can also send an electronic message by going to your

Senators individual website and sending your comments through the Senators website. The

Senators’ websites are set forth in the LIST OF U.S. SENATORS BY STATE which starts on page

11.

WHAT DO I SAY IN A FAX OR ELECTRONIC MESSAGE/EMAIL?

Sample letters for retirees, vested but not retired participants, actively working participants and

beneficiaries to send via fax to their Senators (start on page 8). Very few Senators accept emails

directly today. In most cases you have to access the Senators’ website and submit your message

through their platform. The sample letters that follow provide you an outline of what to include in

your email letters, electronic message or submission through your Senators’ website. If you wish to

compose your own letter, here are some tips.

1. Introduce yourself. The reader should know your name, where you are from and that you

are a retiree, vested but not retired participants, actively working participant or beneficiary

participating in the GCC/IBT National Pension Fund.

2. Tell your Senator that you want him/her to support HR6800 “the Heroes Act” because

without it, your pension benefit could be subject to reduction or termination.

3. Make it personal! Do you have any stories about the issue at hand, or do you know people

who do? Share those stories!

4. Be brief! Share a story, but be sure to be concise. The reader will have limited time.

5. Thank your Senators or their aide/staffer for his/her time.

6. If you are writing a traditional letter and sending by fax it to the Senators’ Washington, DC

offices. Remember that you have two U.S. Senators.

7. Senators have made it more difficult to send emails directly to them. Some Senators will

not accept emails and others require you to go to their websites to send a message. We

are providing you with a list of electronic contact information for Senators but its reliability is

suspect. Communicating with your Senators’ office by telephone is the most effective way

to get this message across. The downside of mail or via email is that it is less effective

than speaking with someone in the Senators’ office by phone or in person. Also, your letter

or email is seldom read by the person you are sending it to. Senators have three or four

people on their staff that do nothing but answer the mail. The volume of mail pouring into

most legislative offices is overwhelming, and your Senator simply lacks the time to

personally read and answer your letter. Almost all letters are answered using computers;

only rarely does a Senator actually read his mail, and rarely signs his own letters. Good

legislative offices tally incoming letters and present the Senators with the totals on given

issues. Remember, in most cases, aides/staffers will be handling your communication. Try

to make their jobs easier, and design your letter to stand out from the clutter.
