| Senate Republicans Vote as Bloc to Kill Tax Loophole Repeal
|
|
|
|
The repeal of the Reverse Morris Trust initially won in the House of Representatives with help from Congressmen John Hall in the NY 19th district as part of H.R 4213 The American Job and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010. This legislation was an important part of CWA’s LPAT (Legislative Political Action Team) fight and 1103’s tactic to get the 10 –20 more years many of our members need to reach retirement with dignity. This bill was also vital for our Brothers and Sisters who were laid off by Verizon in that it would have provided them with additional unemployment benefits. At the direction of the Executive Board, our LPAT successfully worked to get all Senators that live in CWA 1103 jurisdictional areas on board and voting YES for H.R 4213. CWA 1103’s LPAT has also been laboring tirelessly on a NY state bill to protect Members from sales or mergers that hurt jobs. S7263 The Landline & Merger bill in the NY Senate is also subject to a Republican blockade in an attempt to kill that bill. To beat these Republican Blockades we need Members participation. CWA Local 1103 Members have been hammering Republican Senator Vinny Leibell with phone calls demanding he co-sponsor and vote for S7263 the landline & Merger bill over the last month (to date Leibell nor his senior leadership will confirm his vote). We need an all out effort this Monday June 28th to get Leibell to commit to CWA jobs. Please call Senator Leibell at 518-455-3111 and tell him you are a CWA 1103 member and need him to co-sponsor and vote for S7263. It’s our jobs, we have to fight each year for every year we want to be on them.
