In just over a month, the Illinois General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn its spring session. The IFT and We Are One Illinois coalition have been hard at work educating legislators about the importance of fixing Tier 2, and we’re holding one more week of action for members to make their voice heard. From April 29 – May 1 next week, call and email lawmakers: Tell them to pass the Fair Retirement and Recruitment Act to finally fix Tier 2 pensions.​
