Association of BellTel Retirees, Inc.

Welcome!

The Association of BellTel Retirees is dedicated to promoting the protection and enhancement of the pensions and benefits for all retirees and the current and future beneficiaries of the companies derived and evolving from the original Bell System.

Many retirees have been set adrift by their former employers.  In response, union and management members of the Association of BellTel Retirees, representing hundreds of thousands from the old Bell System, have banded together to fight corporate and executive arrogance and lack of respect for the retiree and active employee body.

We know there is strength in numbers and that we are stronger together. We aggressively pursue protection for pensions and group annuities through congressional action and passage of legislation. Our tool bag includes: negotiation, shareowner proxy proposals, legislation, and if necessary, litigation. We utilized all these tools to win three shareowner proxies, obtain eleven changes to corporate governance and to take two cases to the steps of the Supreme Court.

Join us and let’s fight together against the incessant greed that threatens your earned benefits!

Click here to get regular email updates of interest to Bell System retirees. Also we will notify you of late breaking news about Social Security, Medicare and other actions on the political scene. 

We protect your email address.

We never sell or provide it to anyone outside our organization.

We do not want to overload your inbox and will only send messages with important current news or events we feel are of interest to our members.
