When the Great Recession hit, union pension funds took a beating, including our own in Columbus and Akron. Most politicians gave working families little more than sympathy. Sherrod Brown gave us a fight.
He wrote the Butch Lewis Pension Relief Act to protect our pensions, and he kept pushing for years until it became law. Because of Sherrod, Local 23 members in Akron and Columbus can count on receiving every dollar they earned.
He stood with us. Now we’re standing with him. That’s why BAC Local 23 is working to send Sherrod Brown back to the Senate.
