ILWU pensioners met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on August 13th to discuss plans for mobilizing against attacks on Social Security. Anti-worker forces want to raise the age needed to qualify – forcing Americans to work longer to get the benefits they’ve earned. Protecting Social Security will be a key topic at the 2010 Pensioners Convention being held September 13-15 in San Francisco.
