Kupuna tell Kaiser: Getting old shouldn’t hurt!

Kupuna hula Kaiser Permanente Hawaii HonoluluLocal 5 retirees are performing the hula at Kaiser Permanente Hawai’i with a message to Kaiser: Getting old shouldn’t hurt! So far, they’ve performed at Kaiser Permanente Moanalua and Kaiser Permanente Honolulu.

Getting old doesn’t hurt for our retirees. They have their pension. Our members who work for Kaiser will lose at least $1200/month when they retire at age 65, if Kaiser takes away their pension. $1200 is more than just a number. It’s food on the table, caring for your family, putting a roof over your head.

If you believe that getting old shouldn’t hurt, join us at the Hawai’i Can! Rally at City Hall organized by The AiKea Movement. It takes place on Thursday, March 13 at 4:45p at Honolulu Hale. Good jobs are secure. Good jobs pay a living wage. Good jobs allow us to live comfortably after we retire. Good jobs for everyone. Hawai’i Can!

Kaiser, don’t touch our pensions! Getting old shouldn’t hurt.
