The number of retirees in the IAM doubled over the past decade and continues to grow, perhaps because our awesome retirees believe “that you may retire from your job, but you never retire from your union.” These dynamic, life-long unionists are instrumental in changing not only local communities but society, and are indeed a force to be reckoned with. The Retirees, Community and Membership Services Department works with the Alliance for Retired Americans and other seniors' groups to ensure a good retirement for our members.    
What Women Need to Know About Retirement
The Heinz Family Philanthropies and The Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) have published "What Women Need to Know About Retirement," a 78-page e-book, available free by simply clicking on the read more link, then the book's image. The book contains information on retirement savings, Medicare, long-term care and features a chapter on unexpected events that is co-authored by Maria Cordone, former Director of the IAM's Community Services and Retirees Department.

"Good planning can help a personal tragedy from becoming a financial disaster," said Cordone, who co-wrote her chapter with WISER Chairman Jeffrey R. Lewis. "Nothing can prevent the tragedies in life. You can't cheat death, accidents happen and not all jobs or marriages will last. No one can predict the future, but this book can help women plan for the unexpected and help to ensure they are protected no matter what lies ahead."

Founded in 1996, WISER provides women with basic information about the obstacles they face in establishing long-term financial security. WISER also advocates changes that would reshape retirement policies that are a product of a bygone age when men were the primary bread winners and more employers offered traditional pension plans. Those changes include finding ways not to penalize women who sacrifice retirement benefits by taking time off to care for children or elderly relatives.
