The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans: For Union Organizers and Employees by James W. Russell
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 MB
Overview: A helpful how-to for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer’s perspective
Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers’ collective retirement savings―and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate.
Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites’ efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes. The result is arguably the largest source of labor value expropriation over the last four decades. In light of all this, what do workers need to know as they assess their future prospects―especially in terms of the security their retirement plans may or may not bring? What should union activists keep in mind as they push for the national and workplace reforms needed to produce greater retirement security? This nuts-and-bolts book provides a much-needed demystification of the retirement system. Even more than that The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans enables us to take charge of our own personal futures, as a first step towards taking back what belongs to us all.
