This group is looking to bring Universal Retirement to all Americans.
Retirement USA
Retirement USA
Retirement USA is a national initiative that is working for a new retirement system that, along with Social Security, will provide universal, secure, and adequate income for future retirees. The initiative has developed 12 Principles for a New Retirement System, which provide a framework for a future system in which employers, workers, and the government would share responsibility for the retirement security for all American workers.
- Retirement USA has been convened by five organizations – the AFL-CIO, the Economic Policy Institute, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the Pension Rights Center, and the Service Employees International Union. These organizations have come together to raise awareness about the need for comprehensive reform for the future.
- A growing number of organizations are supporting the Retirement USA principles.
While the individual organizations involved in this effort are all committed to pushing the current system as far as it can go – preserving and strengthening defined benefit pension plans, promoting reforms to improve 401(k) plans, and expanding retirement plan coverage – we cannot ignore the fact that the current system, regardless of how many changes are made, will remain inadequate and insecure for millions of workers.
