Moving out the pension-cutters
From the article:
A CARAVAN of 14 U-Haul trucks, led by an International Brotherhood of Teamsters-driven semitruck, rolled through the streets of Frankfort, Kentucky, to the state Capitol steps on October 5, followed by a rally in front of the Capitol to protest pension “reform.”
The “Vote ’em out, move ’em out” action was organized by the Jefferson County Association of Educational Support Personnel (JCAESP)-AFSCME Local 4011, Kentucky 120 United, the Kentucky Public Pension Coalition and the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA).
The rally was a protest against the attempt by the state legislature in the middle of the night last March to sneak through pension legislation attached to State Bill 151, a “waste management” bill. The attached amendment would have placed new state employees and teachers in a new pension plan.
