Core Belief: Public education employees have been assured of a traditional defined benefit plan as a part of the Constitution of 1937. A traditional defined benefit retirement plan provides public employees a guaranteed pension that will last their entire lives. A privatized plan does not guarantee these public servants the retirement they need and deserve.

Thanks to everyone who attended the TRTA 55th Annual Convention in El Paso at the historic Camino Real Hotel and the El Paso Convention Center last week.

Ann A. Buchanan from the Brownsville Area RSEA has written the lyrics for "Golden Days" which is sung to the tune of "School Days." The lyrics are now available online!
