I'm posting this here because I don't see any other place it could go in the forums.

It's a Billboard article concerning the sinking AFM pension fund and the board's plans to reduce many members' pensions next year. I received a letter from a man identifying himself as the "Retiree Representative" for union musicians. It's the first I had heard of this, although I knew that the fund has been under federal supervision because it's in decline and, like many other pension funds, not sustainable for the long term.

I am an AFM retiree and have been notified often by the pension fund administrators about the status of the Fund in recent years.
