Yesterday, the #akleg Senate passed a new defined benefit system for public employees and teachers, Senate Bill 88. Watch Senator Cathy Giessel talk about why this is vital to recruiting and retaining a strong Alaska workforce: youtu.be/QoVO35u7x5o

SB 88 is on the path to passing the Senate! SB 88 would restore a defined benefit pension for public employees! This would be a generational change for public service in Alaska. #akleg #pensionsforpublicservice
We hope to see you there! #akraisethebsa
"Staffing shortages are affecting state offices and departments across the board, but the solutions so far have been piecemeal...with limited impacts. But a broader solution could be on the table in the coming months." #pensionsforpublicservice #akleg @AlaskaPensions

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history. More @ ufw.org/larryitliongday2023

🙌Thank you @rweingarten for championing retirement security! #akleg
Social Security and pensions are the promise we’ve made to working families. They are deferred earnings from a lifetime of work, so they can retire with security and dignity. We must protect those earnings. @ActiveRetirees xitter.cf/AFTunion/status/171428…

Are you planning on seeing the new Taylor Swift movie this weekend? Even if you're not a Swiftie, there's no denying she's an economic powerhouse....and so are pensions. #TheErasTour #TaylorSwift #Swifties #Retirement #Economy forbes.com/sites/dandoonan/2…
Excellent op-ed out of Kenai. #akleg

It's such an honor to be endorsed by the Anchorage Central Labor Council! I'm excited to get to work for workers and their families so that our entire community can thrive. #Anchorage #ANCgov #1u #UnionStrong

We stand with auto workers. They are simply asking for their pathway to the middle class. It was an honor to talk to and walk with the strikers. We stand with @UAW #StandUpUAW

It’s official: The contracts for @UAW workers at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis have expired. The Stand Up strike has begun.
The 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO stand in proud solidarity with UAW! #StandUpUAW
Sign up for updates on the @UAW Standup Strike! They are fighting for all of us. actionnetwork.org/forms/sign… #akleg

A union card = higher wages and better benefits.
I’m fighting to make it easier for workers to advocate for themselves in the workplace through the PRO Act.
