Please see the message below from International Vice President Brian Thompson regarding the IBEW Multiemployer Pension Plan:
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
This week is our only chance to sway members of Congress considering the latest Coronavirus stimulus to remove the composite plan proposal (the GROW Act), which is an existential threat to the survival of IBEW multiemployer pension plans.
I am requesting that you please contact all your members immediately and ask them to contact their Representatives on this crucial issue using the below information provided by Austin Keyser, Director of the IBEW Political Department. Using the attached script, they should respectfully request to contact Nancy Pelosi directly to ask her to pull the Grow Act out of the bill (the informal name of the legislation is the HEREOS Act).
For your further consideration, the following documents are attached:
Composite plans would devastate IBEW’s multiemployer plans in the midst of a worsening economic crisis and Speaker Pelosi should remove the GROW Act language from the bill before Congress.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your servicing International Representative.
Fraternally yours,
Brian K. Thompson
International Vice President

Brothers and Sisters,
Please see the attached FAQ from the International for information regarding coronavirus job protections:
Q: Does the NDERA protect an employee’s right to refuse to be present and/or request a layoff/furlough if he/she has a reasonable belief that being present would place them in imminent danger of contracting coronavirus?
Q: Can the employer deny an unemployment claim if an employee stays home because of a genuine belief that being present would place them in imminent danger of contracting coronavirus?
Q: Does having an imminent danger of contracting coronavirus take into account an individual’s own health and/or family situation?
Q: Is there a difference between furlough and layoff? Is an employer required to furlough if a jobsite is restricted/denied access or may the employer issue a lay-off? Is there a difference under the NDERA?
Q: Do furloughed employees get sick or FMLA benefits under the newly passed Federal legislation?
Q: Does the language of the NDERA that specifies that the employer shall not “contest” unemployment benefits require the employer to fraudulently fill out the state unemployment paperwork?
Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns, and continue to stay safe and take care of yourselves during this difficult time.
