Calling All Union Members: We Need You to Share This Now.
We are opening a new front in this war. We aren't just fighting for "concurrent receipt" anymore; we are fighting against Pension Theft.
If a Teamster, Steelworker, or Electrician got hurt on the job, their union would burn the building down if the company tried to deduct their disability check from their pension.
But that is exactly what the government is doing to us.
I just published an Open Letter to Teamsters President Sean O'Brien exposing this betrayal. I am asking him to protect the veterans in his own ranks from the politicians who smile in his face while stealing from his members.

Why I Asked Teamsters President Sean O'Brien to Help Combat Veterans
THE ASK:
If you are a member of a Local Union (Teamsters, UAW, IBEW, AFL-CIO, etc.), please share this article with your Union Reps and Shop Stewards immediately.
We need Labor Leadership to understand that politicians like Senator Mullin, Senator Wicker ( Both on Senate Armed Services Committee) —who claim to be "friends" of the working man—are actively stealing millions in earned pensions from the veterans in their own districts.
They listen to Unions. Make them listen to us.
The call for #VSOWalkout2026 continues. Please stop donating to VFW and WWP until they start showing real fight on our behalf. Do not let VFW have the ability during their March 1-5 conventions to say they are fighting hard for Major Richard Star Act. Tell them to get to work.
Respectfully,
Senior Chief Shane Junkert, USN (ret.)
