Welcome to the GM Retirees Association Website The General Motors Retirees Association is the nation's largest advocacy organization devoted to the preservation of pension, healthcare, and other benefits earned by GM retirees through their years of labor and loyalty to GM. GMRA stands for the fair treatment of all GM retirees, including the salaried retirees not already represented by the United Auto Workers. GMRA collaborates with the National Retirees Legislative Network (NRLN).

We hope that by now most of you have received the email from the National Retiree Legislative Network (NRLN) inviting you to the Washington, D.C., Fly-in scheduled for Sept. 13 and 14. If you have not, let us know and we’ll send you a copy.

While in DC, we’ll be lobbying on Capitol Hill on behalf of all retirees, with GM retirees top of mind. We will need all the support we can get. If you think you might able to make it, you should register at the NRLN website at the following link: www.nrln.org/flyin.

As I’m sure many of you know, during last year’s bankruptcy proceedings we were informed that we needed to ‘share in the sacrifice’ in order for GM to remain in business. As a result, the benefits that we worked for during an entire career (our ‘Total Compensation’) were cut by about two-thirds, a reduction far exceeding a “fair share” compared to other GM stakeholders. We had no voice in the decisions affecting us and were refused a seat at the table by the Court.

When we visit Washington, D.C., our Congressional representatives are going to hear directly from us about the devastating effects of those hasty decisions that were made with little regard for equitable and fair treatment.

Help us make our case! We’ve heard back from a few of you with your retirement challenges and stories. But we need even more accounts to support our case. If you have something to share, it is not too late. Details for submitting challenge stories are on the website at Action Alert: Retirement Challenges. The more accounts we get from you, the stronger our case will be.

Also, let us know if you plan to participate by dropping us a quick note at Contact Us so we can back to you with plans for an informal GMRA “meet and greet’ while in DC.

All the best!
