Sanders Presses McConnell to Save Coal Miners’ Pensions | Bernie Sanders
Published on May 14, 2016
“We cannot allow the pension and retirement benefits of the United Mine Workers of America to be slashed,” Sanders said. “When a worker is promised a pension we have a responsibility to make sure that promise is not broken. Senator McConnell should drop his opposition to this deal and save the pension benefits of more than 90,000 coal miners in this country and he should do it now.”
