Thousands of APWU retirees have had their Social Security income cut by an unfair Reagan-era law. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, we’re calling our members of Congress to demand justice. Will you join in and make a call?

APWU is fighting for the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which reduce or eliminate benefits for retirees under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) who also qualify for Social Security through secondary employment.

In the last Congress, the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), a legislative bill to repeal WEP and GPO, obtained 305 cosponsors. With your help, we are on track to surpass this goal! More bipartisan support means more pressure on Congress to schedule a floor vote and pass H.R. 82!

We are hosting a Call Congress Day of Action on Wednesday, Sept. 27. We are asking APWU Members and supporters to call their congressional representative and ask them to move H.R. 82 forward: either by adding their name as a cosponsor or helping schedule a floor vote.
