(38,073 posts)Did she get back payments into Social Security?
Back pay at all where she could have bumped up her social security?
My mom is 'in retirement' but has an airport greeter job via the convention and visitors bureau. She works 'events' - not for the money. But they 'sucked her back in' in this way to keep close to her knowledge (many years in the Travel and Tourism industry as an Exec).
She is 67 and maybe works 9 hours a week to greet groups at the airport for CVB.
She works with women in their late 80's and 90's who put in 30-40 hours a week STRICTLY at the airport doing this job. They aren't 'representatives' of the city - Little Miss Lilac as my mom refers to herself - this is Shit Getting Real.
They made so little back in the day - they getting very little in Social Security now.
That is a fucking tragedy that we won't let women workers in the here and now sue with protection.
It's not just the pay in the here and now -it impacts their social security in 30 years.
Can I take this moment to state that O'Malley want to cut my cap - and he should have? Because it's the right thing to do to pay into the SS system against all earnings so we can give 'those girls' a raise? So they can retire and enjoy their lives?
