Opinion Piece Says Pension Reform Bill Is Economic Blow
In a San Jose Mercury News opinion piece, California School Employees Association President Allan Clark argues that a public pension reform bill (AB 340) "will undermine California's middle class and strike a blow at the economy when we can least afford it." He writes that the bill "contains only cuts and take-aways, asserts unprecedented authority in circumventing the collective bargaining process and raises the retirement age for public workers in irrational and potentially dangerous ways."
