ProtectSeniors.Org
Encyclopedia
ProtectSeniors.Org is an American lobbying group founded in 2006 which is dedicated to the interests of corporate retirees in the United States. The group represents 14.3 million retirees from 392 different companies, 45 labor union locals, 98 municipal, state and federal retiree groups and 16 associations.
ProtectSeniors.Org lobbies for retiree-friendly legislation, specifically the Earned Retiree Healthcare Benefits Protection Act of 2011 (H. R. 1322).
The organization has concerns that employers are legally allowed to retroactively change retirement agreements. The Emergency Retiree Health Benefits Act in Congress would make it illegal for employers to reduce or cancel retirees' health benefits. It would also require companies to reinstate cancelled benefits.
In September 2006, ProtectSeniors.Org coordinated a 2,000 mile mobile billboard caravan in support of the act that traveled through seven states and the District of Columbia.
