Pensions

Sanders led the effort to protect the pensions of older workers. When the Bush administration proposed a rule allowing companies to cut the pensions of older workers by as much as 50 percent, the House passed an amendment to prevent this rule from being implemented. Sanders also passed an amendment to prevent the Bush administration from working to overturn a federal district court ruling that IBM’s pension cuts violated age discrimination laws. This amendment helped 130,000 IBM workers regain $320 million in pension benefits that had been taken away from them.
