Social Security

United Airlines, like several major airlines, large steel manufacturers and other corporations, is going bankrupt.
And like many corporations declaring bankruptcy—or just looking for ways to cut costs—workers’ pension funds are among the first items on the chopping block. Under its proposed bankruptcy plan, United will forgo all pension payments for six years.

It’s time to talk about the future of America’s union movement.
How should we strengthen the union movement for the future? What will it take to give working families the power we need to balance corporate power? How do we make the most of the solidarity and energy of the 2004 presidential election campaign? And most important, what will it take for the union movement to grow?
Our union movement, 58 affiliates, state federations and central labor councils, face formidable challenges—but we face them with the strength of solidarity and a committed and resilient grassroots membership that has always brought us through tough times. The American labor movement, measured by the loyalty and pride of our members, is the strongest in the world, and is stronger today than ever before.
