Emmer Attacks Our Pensions

Governor wannabe Tom Emmer says public employees have it too good. He recently told business leaders that he’d eliminate our defined benefit pensions: “They [public employees] get the guarantee of their secure future, while the rest of us, if we’re lucky enough to have a 401k plan, are watching it ride the rollercoaster of the market and we’re either delaying retirement or wondering if we’re ever going to be able to retire.” Watch the video.

AFSCME-endorsed Mark Dayton jabbed back: “They bargain for those benefits. To denigrate people because they want retirement security is really misguided.”

We’ve sacrificed wages for better benefits and we won’t let Tom Emmer take them away. Fight back by supporting Mark Dayton for governor. To volunteer for a phone bank or to flyer your worksite, contact a political organizer in your area:
