FIX TIER SIX
By Melinda Person, NYSUT President • Mar. 5, 2024
Hi, MAC Activists,
Educators in Tiers 5 and 6 of the New York state pension system pay tens of thousands more into system and work years longer to receive less in benefits than earlier pension tiers.
But NYSUT is working to fix this, just like we did with Tier 4 a few years ago. Our Fix Tier 6 campaign has kicked into high gear and now we need everyone to stand with us.
Read on…
Why it matters: Whether you’re a Tier 5 or 6 member, an earlier pension tier member, a retired educator, a state or local employee who’s a non-educator, or you just believe that public employees deserve the dignity of a pension, we must stand in solidarity with Tiers 5 and 6 members. Pension fairness for one means pension fairness for all.
Tier 5 and 6 members deserve better: Paying more and getting less isn’t fair, dignified or much of an incentive for our newer members to stay in the teaching profession.
Supporting our professions: If we want to solve the teacher shortage, we need to Fix Tiers 5 and 6. We can’t expect newer educators to stay in the field if they must work longer, pay more and get less in retirement than generations before them. Fixing Tiers 5 and 6 is about solidarity and fairness.
Take action: Tell our lawmakers that we won’t quit until we Fix Tier 6!
Stand together. We need the collective power of every NYSUT member and public education advocate to get this done. It’s time to come together and do the right thing. Together, we can Fix Tier 6!
