UEA Member Alert: Your Retirement Benefits are in Jeopardy!

Rally Scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 11 a.m., at the Utah State Capitol

"UEA members' retirement benefits are in jeopardy, and we will be rallying to show the legislature how we feel about these proposals," UEA President Kim Campbell said, after reviewing the latest retirement bills sponsored by Sen. Dan Liljenquist (R-Bountiful). Campbell said the Association is joining with the Utah School Employees Association, Utah Public Employees Association, and the Fraternal Order of Police to host a Saturday, Feb. 6, all-member rally at the Utah State Capitol. These groups represent more than 32,600 public employees and educators statewide. The rally begins at 11 a.m. on the south side of the Capitol. Speakers from each organization will be featured. "We need all of our members to participate in this event," Campbell said. "Those who live great distances from the Capitol can still help by writing letters and e-mails to their senators and representatives."
