Retirement bill deserves support If passed, these improvements in our pension system will benefit both young and old in the rail industry. The vesting period will be reduced for the younger employees, there will be earlier retirement for the active employees, and increased survivor benefits. The UTU web page maintains the most current information on the progress of H.R. 180. The web site is reached by logging on to <http://www.utu.org>. We need to rally support for the legislation as directed by our UTU National Legislative Office. Check the web site for updates and instructions. We have received several calls inquiring about insurance coverage available to the yardmasters pursuant to the provisions in labor contracts or through the Yardmaster Department. Those yardmasters contemplating retirement should call the UTU Yardmaster Department, (216) 228-9400, at least two months in advance of applying for an annuity from the Railroad Retirement Board. |
