ADDRESSED TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE OF
INVESTIGATION OF TRADE UNIONS INTERNATIONAL OF PENSIONERS
AND RETIREES OF THE WFTU

Comrades,
We call all of you in order to work on a collective basis to start up the
resolutions taken during our successful Congress held in Spain on Feb. 6th,
2014 in which our new Trade Unions International was formed.
The regulations approved at the Congress stated:

ADDRESSED TO THE VICE-PRESIDENTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL OF
TRADE UNIONS OF PENSIONERS AND RETIREES OF THE FSM

Comrades Vice-Presidents:

In the USA , federal social security was never enough for retirees to live on. Ever since the 1930s.
 
Instead of fighting a constant increase in the federal social security monthly payment,  unions fought for privately negotiated pensions from their employers.
 
This all worked good Until the current general, national and world wide economic and financial crisis created by Wall Street &  Brussels corporate elites.
 

SOLIDARITY WITH RMT (GB).

Don't Mourn;  Organize!

WFTU TUI for Pensioners and Retirees will take the  urging of Bob Crow's RMT magazine and re double our efforts to do what Comrade Crow's life stood for.   Bob Crow's RMT union sent a strong delegate to our recently held inaugural meeting of a world-wide organization of trade union pensioners and retirees.  We thank him again for this act of international solidarity.
