All workers deserve to retire with dignity and respect. That's why New York state needs to take action now to Fix Tier 6!
Tier 6 is the retirement plan for New York State’s public employees who joined the program after April 2012. This plan makes enrollees pay into the program for their entire careers at higher rates than previous plans and prevents enrollees from retiring before age 63 without facing heavy penalties. Tier 6 leads to significantly reduced pensions which disincentivizes New Yorkers—including nurses—from working in the public sector.
In light of federal attacks on healthcare funding, our state legislators must do everything possible to help public sector hospitals recruit and retain enough nurses to safely care for the New Yorkers who need it most!
