"The American Rescue Plan continues to deliver for our economy and workers. The hardworking men and women of Local 5 deserve the pension benefits that they have earned from a lifetime of work and I am so happy to see that the Rescue Plan is fulfilling the promise of a secure retirement for American workers," said Rep. Maloney. "Unions are the backbone of our economy, and I will never stop fighting to protect our working families."
"Congressman Maloney has always been a true advocate for the labor community and we can't thank him enough for his support for pension provisions in the American Rescue Plan. Union members work hard their entire careers with a promise of a well-earned pension when they retire," said Todd Diorio, President, Hudson Valley Building and Construction Trades Council. "Thanks to the American Rescue Plan and Congressman Maloney, our local bricklayers and finishers as well as other trade unions across the country will be able to retire in dignity and receive the pension they deserve."
"Our union fought hard to make sure our pension was whole, and this decision to fund our members gives security and support to our members who have spent their lives giving themselves to their trade. Thank you to Congressman Maloney for making this happen through the American Rescue Plan and for always sticking up for the men and women of labor," said Mike Clifford, Union Trustee, Bricklayers Local 5 Pension Fund.
