Pension Improvement Campaign
The RIFTHP has created a link to permit RIFTHP members and allies to send an email to their Senator and Representative in support of bills to improve pension benefits for public sector workers. The proposal is to boost pensions by using a 3-year average instead of a 5-year average of total compensation when calculating the retiree benefit. To access the link, click here
