Tier 6 was created to appease NY's billionaires and the elites, and educators and other vital workers paid the price.
#FixTier6 is about restoring the dignified retirement that educators and other public servants have earned.
During last weekend’s Tier 6 rally, @nyscomptroller.bsky.social - who administers NYS’s public pension funds - affirmed that if we #FixTier6, the money is there to pay for it.
Thank you, Comptroller DiNapoli, for standing with educators & for the retirement they’ve earned.
Thank you to Sen. Robert Jackson & @deborahjglick.bsky.social for remaining firm allies in the fight to protect, enrich, and uplift educators across NYC.
With your support, we WILL #FixTier6 and provide pension equity & dignity to thousands of teachers in New York.
🚨 #NEWS: Today, the @nysenate.bsky.social & NYS Assembly announced their commitment to improving Tier 6 in their budget overviews.
This is the DIRECT result of HARD WORK & dedication from @uft.org members + allies across NY. We will not stop until we #FixTier6! 💪
@nysut.bsky.social members rode the wave of momentum created by the #FixTier6 rally to drive home the message of funding schools from pre-k to postgrad and supporting every student. #PublicSchoolsUniteUs #UnionStrong @melindajperson.bsky.social
I stand in solidarity with the teachers, nurses, firefighters, and public employees fighting to fix Tier 6.
When I get to Congress, I’ll pass the PRO Act to protect our right to join a union and fight to guarantee everyone a dignified retirement.
Union strong! #FixTier6
@nyscomptroller.bsky.social DiNapoli joined us at our Legislative Reception last week.
As the leader who oversees NY’s public pension system, including Tier 6, he knows the importance of ensuring public servants can retire with dignity.
Thank you, Comptroller, for joining us. Let’s #FixTier6!
Any social studies teacher teaches that there should be a social contract that if you work hard and play by the rules, you + your family will be okay. NY must #FixTier6 and strengthen pensions for public workers. @melindajperson.bsky.social cbs6albany.com/news/local/n...
Yesterday, @rweingarten.bsky.social joined New York State United Teachers in Albany for a rally to #FixTier6 retirement system, urging lawmakers to strengthen pensions and reduce the vesting period for roughly 780,000 employees.

I have always stood with organized labor, and I will continue to support efforts that strengthen the workforce that serves our communities. I want to thank the union leaders, members, and advocates who came together to make their voices heard. #fixtier6
The men & women who keep our communities running every day deserve a retirement system that treats them fairly and recognizes the vital work they do. Tier 6 has made it harder to recruit and retain the talented public servants New York relies on, and it is time we address those challenges. #Fixtier6
I was proud to stand with our hardworking public employees and union members at the Fix Tier 6 rally at MVP Arena this weekend. #fixtier6

When @uft.org President Michael Mulgrew began as a teacher, Tier 4 was considered a “bad tier.”
But teachers in previous tiers stood with him & other tier 4 members until it was fixed.
It’s time to do the same with Tier 6. #FixTier6
Proud to have been 1 of 15,000.

@lisaannwalter.bsky.social may not be an AFT member, but she plays one on TV. It was great to have her with us fighting to #FixTier6.
I was so glad to see so many unions there. NYSUT, PEF, UUP, UFT, and so many local unions. And we weren't alone. Firefighters, nurses, public and private works, Tom DiNapoli, Tish James, and Kathy Hochul all showed their support. #FixTier6
If you devote your life to educating the next generation you should be able to retire with dignity and grace. That's why the pension is a promise, but New York broke that promise with Tier 6. This comes down to basic fairness. #FixTier6
What an incredible day in Albany. We had more than 15,000 public workers from all over the state, united to demand that New York #FixTier6.
In New York, part of the promise of being a public educator & public servant is earning an equitable and dignified pension.
“14 years ago this state broke that promise.” - Mario Cilento, @nysaflcio.bsky.social President

When there is a crisis, every person relies on public workers. New York broke a promise when it created Tier 6. #FixTier6
