Last day to vote is Friday, April 8.

We need another ERS Board member who will stand up for us!

        Voting in the ERS Board of Trustees election ends tomorrow. With proposals to cut state employees' benefits flying around the Texas Legislature, we urgently need another ERS Board member who is willing to stand up to the politicians and push hard for the interests of state employees and retirees.
        Bob Stewart will be that Board member. If we get him elected, he will join Yolanda ("Yoly") Griego on the Board. Last year, Yoly was the only one of the six ERS Board members who voted against the increases in co-pays and other out-of-pocket costs to employees. Like Bob, Yoly was elected as the TSEU candidate.
